                           An Appeal following a trial from          Clerk
                     The 403th District Court, Travis County, Texas
                                No. D-1-DC-14-904017
                   Styled the State of Texas vs. Lee Andrew Green, Jr.

               REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF

To The Honorable Clerk of Said Court:

         Now comes Lee Andrew Green, Appellant in the above styled cause, and makes
this his Request for Extension of Time to File Brief, and for good cause would show:

                                             I.

        Counsel for Appellant received notice of filing the reporter’s record from this
Court on October 15, 2015, stating that the Reporter’s Record was filed in this Court on
October 12, 2015. Under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6 (and considering the
state holiday on November 11, 2015), the deadline to file Appellant’s Brief is today, Nov.
12, 2015.

                                            II.

        The record on appeal is 10 volumes. There are also hundreds of photographs and
exhibits. The predominant legal issues in the case appear to involve matters of
deficiencies in the Court’s charge to the jury in a relatively new statutory regime. Due to
the press of business, Counsel for Appellant has been unable to complete the review of
the records and legal research required to effectively communicate and argue the
anticipated points of error in the Brief
                                             III.

       This is the first request for extension of time filed with the Court in this cause.
Counsel for Appellant requests that the Court grant an extension of time to file
Appellant’s Brief until December 11, 2015.

                                               Respectfully Submitted,

                                               _____/s/ Drew Phipps______
