                              TO FILE OPENING BRIEF

From the 399th District Court of Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2011-CR-9697
Hon. Ray J. Olivarri, Judge Presiding

       In accordance with Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), the undersigned submits the following:

       Appellant’s brief is due to be filed on Monday, the 6th of April, 2015. The undersigned

requests additional time to prepare and file Appellant’s opening brief.    Counsel has recently

received the trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law, tendered to counsel on March

31, 2015. Counsel has been working on Appellant’s brief but needs time to incorporate the

court’s ruling and amend his arguments. Counsel has also been preparing two writs of habeas

corpus, one in Bexar County and one in Dallas County, which have forced counsel to divert his

attention from this appeal.   Counsel requests an extension of twenty-one (21) days, to and

including Monday, April 27, 2015. This is Appellant’s third request for an extension.

       Appellant has spoken with the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office regarding

this motion and, per Chief Appellate Prosecutor RicoValdez, they are not opposed to

granting this request for an extension of time.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant respectfully requests that this

Court grant the requested extension.
      Respectfully submitted,
