       Appellant, Bruce Wayne Harkey, pursuant to Rule 10.5 of the Texas Rules

of Appellate Procedure, by and through his attorney of record, requests an
extension of time to file appellant's brief, and in support thereof would show the

court the following:

       1_The reporter's record was filed on December 1, 2014. The clerk's record was

           filed on November 17, 2014.

       2_Under the court's briefing schedule, the appellant's brief is currently due on

           January 5, 2015.

       3_The Court Reporter's Record exceeds ten (10) volumes oftestimony and the

           trial before the jury was approximately one and one-half week in duration.

           More than 100 exhibits were admitted.

       4_The undersigned attorney has an extensive trial practice, both civil and

           criminal. Further, the undersigned counsel has numerous and regular court

           appearances consisting of motions to revoke and suppression hearings.

           Likewise, the undersigned is preparing for several jury trials which are subject

           to being tried within the following sixty (60) days.

       5_ In order to prepare a brief that will be of assistance to the Court, the

          undersigned seeks a 60-day extension of time to file its appellant's brief, so

          that the briefwill be due on March 6, 2015.

       6_This is the first request for an extension of time to file Appellant's brief. This

          extension is not sought solely for delay, but is necessary so that justice can be

          done.

          motion to extend the time for filing Appellant's brief and allow that brief to be
               filed on or before March 6, 2015. Appellant also requests any other relief to

               which it may be entitled.
