STATE OF TEXAS                            §         OF THE STATE OF TEXAS Clerk

    MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINE FOR FILING APPELLANT’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

      COMES NOW, Larry Joe Jones, the Appellant, in the above styled and numbered

cause, and files this motion for an extension to December 3, 2015, to file the appellate

brief. In support of this motion, appellant shows the following:

                                              I.

      The appellant was tried for the offense of Evading Arrest, in Brazos County, Texas,

under Cause Number 14-02769-CRF-85. At the conclusion of the trial, the jury found the

appellant guilty, and he was sentenced to seventy-five years in the Texas Department of

Criminal Justice on May 5, 2015. A timely notice of appeal was filed in this case. The

appellant's brief was due November 30, 2015.

                                              II.

      The reason for the extension of the deadline to file the appellant’s brief is based on

the following:

      Appellant's counsel received notice that the prior motion to extend deadline was

granted until November 30, 2015. However, when counsel entered that onto his calendar,
he entered it erroneously as December 30, 2015. After being notified by the clerk of this

court of his error on December 2, counsel moved his court settings to allow him to finish

the brief in as timely a manner as possible, and has completed the brief on December 3,

2015. Appellant's counsel hopes and prays the court will not hold his calendaring error

against the Appellant, and grant this short extension for the filing of the brief.

      For these reasons, counsel moves that the deadline for the brief be extended until

December 3, 2015.

                                               RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
