                      On Appeal from the 257TH DISTRICT COURT of
                  Harris County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. 1985-50248

____________________________________________________________________________

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

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

       Comes now MURPHY DISE, Appellant, and files this motion for an extension of

time in which to prepare and file his brief. In support of this motion, Appellant shows the

court the following:

                                              I.

       This is an appeal from a final judgment rendered on or about December 20, 2013

from the trial court. This Court entered an Order for the Appellant to file his brief by

August 13, 2015 and Appellant timely files this motion for an extension to file his brief.

Appellant’s attorney has been unable to file the Appellant’s Brief in a timely manner.

Appellant’s attorney has been in numerous trials and federal hearings and has been out

of the state attending to family affairs concerning family health issues. Appellant’s

attorney still has not gotten a copy of the clerk’s record that has been filed in this matter.

Appellants’ attorney also has been unable to not only procure the record but also to
review said record to shed more light on the possibility concerning Appellant’s appeal.

Appellant’s attorney also has the burden of filing briefs and will not be able to finalize

the specific points relied on for the brief on Appellant’s behalf. The Appellant requests a

new due date of September 28, 2015 which will allow time for all of the requested

information for the brief to be completed and, and time for counsel to review the records

in order to complete the brief.

                                                II.

       For just cause, Appellant is seeking a forty-five (45) day extension from this

Court for the required brief to be filed. This extension is not sought for the purpose of

delay, but that justice be done.

       WHEREFORE, Appellant prays the court grant this motion and extend the

deadline for preparing for the appellant’s brief in the appeal of this judgment.

                                          Respectfully submitted,

        (A)   I attempted to confer with the Appellee through their attorney on Monday,

              Appellee was unavailable and we were not able to come to a conclusion as
              to whether they are opposed to the Appellant’s Motion for Extension.

    Date: August 19, 2015
