             __________________________________________

                On Appeal from the 284th Judicial District Court
                         Montgomery County, Texas
                   Trial Court Cause No. 12-12-13384-CV
             ___________________________________________

  MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF

        Pursuant to Rules 38.6(d) and 10.5(b) of the Texas Rules of

Appellate Procedure, Appellant Raymond Shaw moves for a sixty (60) day

extension of the deadline to file Appellant’s Brief and in support of this

motion states as follows:

        1.   The first deadline for filing Appellant’s Brief is February 20,

2015.

        2.   Counsel for Appellant’s two lawyer firm has had and continues

to have a busy trial schedule during the first three months of 2015,
including a week long trial in late January 2015. Additionally, Appellant’s

counsel did not realize until February 18, 2015 that a copy of the Clerk’s

record could not be accessed instantaneously online and thus is in the

process of obtaining the Clerk’s record in order to comply with Rule 38’s

requirement of supporting the Statement of the Case and Statement of

Facts with record references.

      3.    Appellant is seeking a modest sixty (60) day extension of the

deadline to April 21, 2015.

      4.    Appellant has not previously sought any extensions of the

deadline to file Appellant’s Brief.

                                      Respectfully submitted,
