       MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:
       Now comes Geneva Doris Vasquez, Appellant in the above styled and
numbered cause, and moves this Court to grant an extension of time to file
appellant's brief, pursuant to Rule 38.6 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure,
and for good cause shows the following:
       1.      This case is on appeal from the 159th District Court of Angelina
County, Texas.
       2.      The case below was styled the STATE OF TEXAS vs. Geneva Doris
Vasquez, and numbered 2014-00421.
       3.      Appellant was convicted of Burglary of a Habitation.
       4.      Appellant was assessed a sentence of Fifteen (15) years Texas
Department of Criminal Justice Institutional Division on August 29, 2014.
       5.      Notice of appeal was given on September 26, 2014.
       6.      The clerk's record was filed on October 27, 2014; the reporter's record
was filed on January 5, 2015.
      7.        The appellate brief is presently due on March 6, 2015.
      8.        Appellant requests an extension of time of three (3) days from the
present date.
      9.        One extension to file the brief has been received in this cause.
      10.       Defendant is currently incarcerated.
      11.       Appellant relies on the following facts as good cause for the requested
extension:
      The above captioned brief is complete excepting editing and proofing. Due to
court schedules, Counsel will be unable to submit the brief by end of business and
therefore requests three days extension.
      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this
Court grant this Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant's Brief, and for such other
and further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.
