   MOTION FOR EXTENSIONOF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF

 TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

         COMES NOW, CARLOS FAZ, Appellant, and files this Motion for

 Extension of Time to File Appellant's Brief, pursuant to Rules 10.5(b) and

 38.6(d), Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.             In support of this Motion,

 Appellant would show the following:

                                            I.

       Appellant’s brief is due to be filed on September 2, 2015. Counsel for

Appellant requires an extension of time to complete and file Appellant’s brief in

this cause. This is Appellant’s second request for extension of time, but

Appellant’s first request for extension of time since the appellate record was filed in

its entirety.

                                           II.

         Counsel for Appellant has worked diligently on the brief since receiving

 the complete record, but has been unable to complete it for the following reasons:

        1.      Counsel for Appellant appeared for numerous, previously set, pretrial
and trial settings in the county and district criminal courts of Bexar County,

Texas.

      2.    Counsel for Appellant was also involved in assisting with the

research and preparation of several appellate and post-conviction matters

pending in Harris County, Texas.

      3.    Counsel for Appellant has also worked diligently on the

investigation, research, and preparation of the following, upcoming, post-

conviction matters: Ex parte Corey Farrow, Ex parte Alexander Gauthier, Ex

parte John Anthony Torres, Ex parte Shannon Spradlin.

      4.    Counsel for Appellant also worked diligently on, and filed, the

Appellant’s Brief in the Fourth Court of Appeals in, Nos. 04-15-00207 and 04-

15-00208, styled Jessica G. Castillo v. State of Texas.

      5.    Counsel for Appellant also worked diligently on, and filed, the

Applicant’s writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 11.07 of the Texas Code of

Criminal Procedure and Applicant’s Memorandum in Support of Writ of Habeas

Corpus in the 186th District Court of Bexar County, Texas in, cause no.

2011CR11054-W1, styled Ex parte Luis Galvan.

                                             III.

     This request is not made for the purpose of delay, but rather this request is

made to allow counsel adequate time to prepare Appellant’s brief.       Appellant
moves this Court for an order granting an extension of thirty (30) days, or until

October 2, 2015, for Appellant to submit the brief in this case.

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant moves this Court

 for an order granting an extension of thirty (30) days for Appellant to submit

 the brief in this case.

                                               Respectfully submitted,
