pursuant to Rules      10.5(b)      and 38.6(d)    of    the Texas   Rules of

                                       I.

TRIAL COURT: 239th District Court of Brazoria County, Texas,
                Judge Patrick Sebesta, presiding.
CAUSE NUMBER:    74,219

STYLE: The State of Texas vs. Dorsey Nathaniel Carr, III

DATE OF JUDGMENT: February 20, 2 015

CONVICTION (OFFENSE): Felony DWI Enhanced

SENTENCE: Ten (10) years TDCJ-ID.

DEADLINE FOR FILING APPELLANT'S BRIEF: July 22, 2015

LENGTH OF TIME REQUESTED FOR EXTENSION: August 21, 2015
                                                    (30 days)

NUMBER OF PREVIOUS EXTENSIONS GRANTED:            None
                                        II.
                          REASONS      FOR EXTENSION

     Appellant's request for an extension is based upon the
following facts:

     Counsel is the defense counsel for the Brazoria County
Drug Court    which meets           every week and requires additional
time for client conferences. Counsel is also the appointed
defense counsel at probation reviews in the 149th and 239th

District Courts as well as the appointed defense counsel for
the jail dockets in County Court at Law Number 1 of Brazoria

County. Counsel's case load and the settings and requirements
of the drug court and the review and jail dockets coupled
with the need of a sole practitioner to meet with clients and

maintain some     semblance of          a   cash    flow have        resulted in
Counsel being     unable       to    finish   the    brief      by      the    stated
deadline.

     WHEREFORE, PREMISES             CONSIDERED,     Appellant          prays    the
Court grant     this     MOTION      FOR    EXTENSION      OF     TIME    TO    FILE

APPELLANT'S BRIEF and extend the time for filing the Brief
until August 21,       2015.

                                              Respectfully submitted,
