       The Appellant in this cause was convicted in County Court at Law One, Gregg County,

Texas in cause number 2013-2143 for the offense of Escape from Custody. On October 20,

2014, punishment was assessed at three hundred thirty (330) days in the County Jail.

                                                 II.

       The Reporter=s record was filed on February 9, 2015. The Appellant=s Brief is due on or

       The Appellant hereby requests an extension of time to file Appellant=s Brief.

       The undersigned counsel has been unable to devote sufficient time to the review of the

record, research and preparation of Appellant=s Brief for the following good and sufficient

reasons:

       state and federal courts.

   2. Counsel underwent surgery in Boston Massachusetts and is still under a doctor’s care.

       (See letter from Dr. Rotzler attached.)

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the undersigned counsel, on behalf of

Appellant, respectfully prays that this Honorable Court extend the time for filing Appellant=s

Brief for an additional seven (07) days, to Friday, May 8, 2015.
