 APPELLANT'S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE Appellant's Brief

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

      Now comes Ron Fuson 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 (d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and for good cause shows

the following:

      1.    On January 23, 2015 this counsel filed Appellant's Motion to Extend

            Time to File Appellant's Brief.

      2.    This case is on appeal from the !19th Judicial District, Tom Green

            County, Texas.

      3.    The case below was styled the State of Texas vs.Ron Fuson, and

            numbered C-12-0998-SB. The Defendant was convicted of Failure to

            register as a sex offender on September 12, 2014.

                                                                                     l
      4.    Appellant was sentenced to five years in the Institutional Division of the

Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

      5.    Notice of appeal was given on October 14, 2014.

      6.    The clerk's record was filed on November 12, 20 14; the reporter's record

            was filed on, November 4, 2014.

     8.     Appellant's Brief is presently December 12,2014. Counsel is unable to

            file Appellant's Brief on or before December 12,2014. Counsel, had not

            had adequate time to review the clerk's record and reporter's record or

            to conduct an investigation and prepare a proper brief by the present

            deadline. Counsel believes that an anders brief may be appropriate in

            this matter. Counsel believes without additional time to prepare said

            brief appellant will be denied effective assistance of counsel in this

            matter. Counsels failure to file the brief timely was inadvertent and not a

            conscious disregard of the courts deadlines.

     9.     Counsel therefore requests this court extend the time for filing said Brief

            to 90 days from the current due date of December 12, 2014 so that

            counsel may review the record in this matter and draft a brief..

      10.   no previous Extensions has been granted regarding this matter.

                                                                                     2
       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,
