                  APPELLANT’S THIRD MOTION FOR
             EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF

      TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

      COMES NOW, SCOTT P. OGLE (“Mr. Ogle” or “Appellant”), Appellant in

the above styled and number cause, and files this Third Motion to Extend Time to

File Appellant’s Brief, and in support thereof, would respectfully show unto this

Court the following:

                                               I.

      Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b), Mr. Ogle would show:

1)    the deadline for filing Appellant’s Brief was November 23, 2015;

2)    Two Requests for Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief has been

      previously granted;

Appellant’s Third Motion
to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief                                      Page 1 of 4
3)     Mr. Ogle requests that the deadline to file Appellant’s Brief be extended 15

      days from the filing of this motion, or until December 24, 2015;

4)    Undersigned counsel reasonably believes that he will be able to complete and

      file Appellant’s Brief within the time requested; and

5)    No further requests for an Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief shall be

      requested.

      Further, counsel requests this extension of time to file Appellant’s Brief

because of an unusually heavy trial schedule. Said trials and trial preparation have

caused undersigned counsel to be unable to complete Appellant’s Brief within the

deadline.

       Additionally, undersigned counsel was being assisted in researching and

drafting Appellant’s Brief in this Cause by attorney Gerald Staton, who passed away

suddenly on November 9, 2015. At the time of his passing, Mr. Staton was in

possession of the trial record in this case, as well as other documents and research

materials to be accessed and referred to in drafting Appellant’s Brief. Those

materials have only been obtained by undersigned counsel via other means.

      Finally, as stated above, undersigned counsel reasonably believes that he will

be able to complete and file the Appellant’s Brief in this cause within the additional

time requested herein.

Court grant Appellant’s Third Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief.

Appellant further prays for any other relief to which he may show himself justly

counsel for the defendant. Therefore, it is presumed that counsel for the defendant
is opposed to the granting of the relief requested in this motion.
