TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 10.1 and 38.6(d), the Appellant, Clifton Crews

Hoyt, files this Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief.

      Appellant’s initial brief is currently due on August 14, 2015.

      Undersigned counsel requests a 30-day extension of time to file their initial

brief, making the brief due date on September 14, 2015. This is the first request for

extension of time to file the opening brief.

      The issues in this case, though not complex, require additional time to

prepare a cogent brief. In addition, Counsel’s other court obligations, including

settings for trial and motions to suppress, have detracted from Appellant’s case.

      Assistant District Attorney Richard Villarreal, counsel for the State, has

indicated to undersigned counsel that the State of Texas is unopposed to this

motion.

      All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the

counsel signing this motion, and therefore no verification is necessary under Texas

Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.2.

                             PRAYER FOR RELIEF

      For the reasons set forth above, Appellant requests that this Court grant this

Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief and extend the
deadline for filing the Appellant’s Brief up to and including September 15, 2015.

Appellant requests all other relief to which he may he may be entitled.

      This 11th day of August, 2015.

                             Respectfully submitted,
