              MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

       Now comes Priscilla Aguilar Hernandez, 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 452nd Judicial District Court of McCulloch

County, Texas .

       2.     The case below was styled the STATE OF TEXAS vs. PRISCILLA

AGUILAR HERNANDEZ, and numbered 5797 .

       3.     Appellant was convicted of homicide .

       4.     Appellant was assessed a sentence of thirty (30) years on May 22 , 2014.

       5.     Notice of appeal was given on June 25 , 2014 .

       6.     The clerk's record was filed on July 16, 2014 ; the reporter's record was

filed on August 21 , 2014 .

       7.     The appellate brief is presently due on December 16, 2014.

       8.     Appellant requests an extension of time of 8 days from the present date,

i.e. December 24 , 2014 .

       9.     Three extensions to file the brief have been received in this cause.
       10.    Defendant is currently incarcerated .

       11.    Appellant relies on the following facts as good cause for the requested

extension :

       Undersigned counsel had mistakenly calendared the due date for Appellant's

Brief 30 days from the previous due date , which was December 24 , 2014.

Undersigned counsel filed Appellant's Brief on this date with the understanding that that

was the proper due date. It was not until the matter was brought to the attention of

undersigned counsel by this Court, that undersigned counsel realized this error.

       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 ,
