                            A Collpleted SUppl..eoted Appel ]ant's Brief

      TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

           Come   now,    the appellant,    Donald Davis,      moves the court for extension
      of   time   to     file a   completed supplemented appellant's brief appealing the
      301ST district court judgment and order entered 1-29-15 for reasons as follows:

                                                  I.
                                            Facts Of Case

          On 7-8-15 appellant received the appellate clerk's notice to file appella-
      nt's brief with an extension motion within (10) days, indicating that the
      time period for filing appellant's brief had expired, even though, the appell-
      ant wasn't notified of the filing of the clerk's records or provided with
      a copy of the records and transcript, informing that appeal would be dismissep
      if appellant did not comply. In compliance with appellate clerk's notice
      an inadequate and incomplete appellant brief was mailed to the appellate
      clerk with extension motion on 7-lQ-15. on 7-14-15 the appellate court directed
      the clerk to send the appellant a paper copy of the clerk's recot:~, which
      was received by appellant on 7-17-15. However, the clerk's record received
      is deficient and inadequate for this appeal for pertinent and material items
      is omitted from the appellate record. The omitted items missing from the
      records that are necessary and pertinent for this appeal are identified in
      appellant's motion to supplement the clerk's record for omitted items mailed
      to appellate clerk on 7-2Q-15. The court has permitted one extension thus
      far, because the appellant wasn't notified of the filing of the clerk's record
      or provided with a copy of the records and transcript timely, only when the
      court's 7-14-15 order did the clerk provide the appellant with copy of records ·~
      and transcript.

                                                  (1)
                                                        II.
                                    Argmlents And             Authorities

      The court may extend time to file the appellant's brief under the authori-

ty of       Rule      38.6(d) TRAP. The appellant cannot file an adequate and complete

appellant       brief until the 301ST district clerk supplement the clerk's records

with    the     omitted      items necessary for this appeal to be had, and provide the

appellant      with      copy of        the     records        and transcript so that the incomplete
and inadequate appellant brief can be supplemented re correct reference within
the    records.        All   problems         that     has     come about concerning the records are

not    those        attribruted    to     the        appellant. Appellant has repeatedly tried to

obtain the records and transcript from the district clerk.

                                                    III.
                                              Prayer For Relief

      WHEREFORE,        PREMISES CONSIDERED,                 appellant ask that the court grant this

motion,       and     request (20) days to file the completed and adequate appellant's

brief or        supplement     brief after              the 301ST district clerk has supplemented

the    clerk's        records with the omitted items providing the appellant with copy
of    the     supplemented records and transcript, and any other and further relief

the appellant may have shown itself entitled.
