                           Motion To Extend Time For Filing Appellant's Brief

           Appellant, by and through her attorney of record, respectfully requests an extension of

time to file her brief. In support Appellant shows:

           Appellant was convicted for the offense of Driving While Intoxicated in Cause No.

14-11631CR in the County Court at Law No. 2 of Ellis County, Texas, before the Honorable

Gene Calvert. The judgment was dated June 30, 2015. Notice of Appeal was filed on July 2,

2015.

           The present deadline for filing Appellant's brief is September 25, 2015. Appellant

respectfully requests an extension of time until November 24, 2015. No previous

extension of time has been granted. Counsel has had a heavy caseload within the last few

months requiring her appearance in multiple courts in Ellis County. Preparing the trial

dockets have required the great majority of counsel’s time.

           The Reporter’s Record was filed August 4, 2015, in the Tenth Court of Appeals of

Waco, Texas. On this same date, the Tenth Court of Appeals transferred the above cause

to the Sixth District Court of Appeals of Texarkana, Texas. On August 26, 2015, the

certified Clerk’s Record was filed in the Sixth Court of Appeals. The issues in this case

                                                        1
are complex and varied. For these reasons, Appellant’s counsel requests a sixty (60) day

extension in which to file Appellant’s brief.

           Additionally, on September 24, 2015, Counsel for Appellant conferred with the

Ellis County District Attorney’s Office, Appellee representing the State of Texas.

Appellee does not oppose this Motion. Appellee does not object to the Court granting

this Motion for the Extension of Time to file the Appellant’s Brief.

           WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant respectfully requests that

the time for filing Appellant's brief be extended to November 24, 2015.

                                                              Respectfully submitted,
