    5. Appellant made a previous request to extend the brief filing deadline which was

         subsequently granted and a new deadline to file the Appellant's brief was extended to

         August 31,2016.

    6. Appellant requests an additional extension of time of 14 days until September 14, 2016 to

         file his brief.

    7. Appellant's counsel had prepared and intended to finish drafting her brief before the

         August 31st deadline, however, she has been unable to do so because she has needed to

         take care of her sick baby which has required her to go to doctor's appointments and to

         stay at home away from her office.

    8. This request for an extension of time is not made for the purpose of delay, but to permit

        Appellant's counsel to adequately prepare and submit her brief in this case.

    9. Appellant respectfully requests the Court grant Appellant's First Motion for Extension of

        Time to File Brief and extend such deadline for fourteen (14) days.

    10. The attorney for the State of Texas, Carty Dessauer, is not opposed to this Motion.

                                                        Respectfully submitted,
