                   THIRD MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

         Now comes VERNON LANDRY, Appellant in the above styled and numbered cause, and moves this Court to

grant an extension of time to file appellant's brief, pursuant to Rule 38.6 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and

for good cause shows the following:

         1.       This case is on appeal from the Criminal District Court of Jefferson County, Texas.

         2.       The case below was styled the STATE OF TEXAS vs. VERNON LANDRY, and numbered 11-11681,

                  11-11715 and 11-11720.

         3.       Appellant was convicted of BURGLARY OF A HABITATION, AGGRAVATED ASSAULT, and

                  VIOLATION OF A PROTECTIVE ORDER.

         4.       Appellant was assessed a sentence of ten (10) years in 11-11681 and 1-11720, and to twenty (20)

                  years in 11-11715 confinement in TDCJ on October 27, 2017.

         5.       Notice of appeal was given on November 9, 2017.

         6.       The clerk's record was filed on November 28, 2017; reporter's record was filed on December 29, 2018.

         7.       The appellate brief was due on April 2, 2018.

         8.       Appellant requests an extension of time of 30 days from the present date, ie. May 2, 2018.

         9.       Defendant is currently incarcerated.

         10.      Appellant relies on the following facts as good cause for the requested extension:

         I am a solo practitioner. I have been preparing several cases for trial. It appears that this case is a complex case

and requires adequate time to review this case to prepare the brief.

         WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this Court grant this Motion To Extend
Time to File Appellant's Brief, and for such other and further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.

                                                       Respectfully submitted,
