                         Appellant

                                       v.

                          THE STATE OF TEXAS
                                Appellee

                        Appellant’s First Motion for

                       Extension of Time to File Brief

Comes now, Appellant, by and through his undersigned counsel, in the

above styled cause and moves this Honorable Court to extend the time for

the filing of Appellant's Brief. Per Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure

10.5(b), Appellant provides the following:

Current Deadline for Filing: July 3, 2015

Length of Extension Sought: Thirty (30) Days

Number of Previous Extensions Granted: None.

Basis for Extensions:

     Appellant's counsel is a solo practitioner with a busy criminal and

juvenile defense caseload, which requires regular appearances in court on

the part of counsel.

     In the thirty days since the filing of the reporter’s record in this matter,
Appellant counsel has prepared for trial on a third-degree felony kidnapping

and second-degree felony robbery case in the Cause number of 14-CR-2251

and Cause number 14-CR-2252 in the 405th Judicial District Court in

Galveston County, Texas.

     Additionally, in the thirty days since the filling of the reporter’s record,

Counsel has prepared for an evidentiary hearing on a Motion for New Trial

on a capital murder case in Cause number 73841, in the 239th Judicial

District Court of Brazoria County held on the 1st day of July, 2015.

     Also, Counsel was on family vacation for ten days during this 30-day

period.

      All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of

the counsel signing this motion, therefore no verification is necessary under

Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.2.

                          PRAYER FOR RELIEF

      For the reasons set forth above, Appellant requests that this Court

grant this Appellant’s First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief

and extend the Deadline for Filing the Appellant’s Brief up to and including

August 3, 2015. Appellant prays all other relief to which he may be entitled.
Respectfully submitted,
