      MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

      Now comes EARL WILMORE, 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 Criminal District Court of Jefferson

            County, Texas.

      2.    The case below was styled THE STATE OF TEXAS vs. EARL

            WILMORE, and numbered 13-17241.

      3.    Appellant was convicted of FORGERY.

      4.    Appellant was assessed a sentence of two (2) years confinement in State
             Jail on November 21, 2014.

      5.     Notice of appeal was given on December 2nd, 2014.

      6.     The electronic clerk's record was filed on January 2nd, 2015; electronic

             reporter's record was filed on January 30, 2015.

      7.     The appellate brief was due on March 2nd, 2015.

      8.     Appellant requests an extension of time of 30 days from the present

             date, ie. April 1st, 2015.

      9.     Defendant is currently incarcerated.

      10.    No extension to file appellant’s brief has been received in this cause.

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

             extension:

      I am a solo practitioner. I have been preparing several cases for trial. It

appears that this case is a complex case and requires adequate time to review this case

to prepare the brief.

      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,
