                               REASONS   FOR     EXTENSION

     Appellant's request               for an     extension is           based upon the

following facts:

     On March       17,    2015,       Appellant's          counsel        completed           and

submitted a    brief      to    this   Court     in Docket      Number        01-14-00727-

CR styled Alphonso Smith vs.              The State of Texas.

     The record in the            instant        case   is    comprised of              sixteen

(16) volumes,       9 of which are reporter's record and seven (7)

of which are exhibts. The trial itself constitutes 1162 pages

excluding exhibits.

     In addition to this brief,                  this attorney is the defense

counsel for the Brazoria County Drug Court which meets every

week and    requires       additional          time     for    client         conferences.

Counsel is    also     the      appointed        defense      counsel         at    probation

reviews    in the    149th and 239th District                 Courts     as well          as   the

appointed defense         counsel        for     the    jail    dockets            in     County

Court at Law Number 1 of Brazoria County.                       The length of this

record coupled with the settings and requirements of the drug

court and     the    review       and     jail       dockets        have      resulted           in

Counsel being       unable       to     finish       the     brief       by    the        stated

deadline.

     WHEREFORE,       PREMISES         CONSIDERED,           Appellant             prays        the

Court grant     this       MOTION        FOR     EXTENSION          OF   TIME        TO        FILE

APPELLANT'S BRIEF         and    extend        the   time     for    filing        the     Brief

until 18 May 2015.
