               On Appeal from the 126th Judicial District Court
                            Travis County, Texas
                  Trial Court Cause No. D-1-GN-1 0-003483

       UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF

      1. This case is on appeal from the 126th Judicial District Court of Travis

County, Texas in trial court cause number Trial Court Cause No. 2013-00767

      2. The transcript was filed on February 18, 2015. Appellants brief was due

March 20, 2015.

      3. Appellant requests an extension of time of on month from the due date,

i.e. until Monday, April 20, 2015.

      4. No prior extension to file the brief has been received in this cause.

      5. The need for the extension is as follows. Appellant’s counsel is a solo

practitioner. He had already prepared a draft response to the issues on appeal, but

needed to incorporate the record and additional case sites, and to put it in the form

required by the court. Counsel had regular clients experience unexpected complex
criminal matters which required Counsel to act immediately to protect their

interests. Counsel also had to prepare three complex motions and responses to

summary judgment. This in addition to counsel’s normal case load prevented him

from completing a full brief. Appellant moves for an extension to April 20, 2015.

       WHEREFORE, Appellant prays that the court grant it an extension of time

to file its brief and for such other and further relief as is just.

                                   Respectfully submitted,
