Motion for Belated Filing of Appellant’s Brief states as

follows:

I.

2. The case is styled State of Texas v. Cornell McHenry, Cause No. 13F00017-202.

3. Appellant was found guilty to the offense of Possession of a Controlled

Substance and sentenced to twenty-five (25) years, in the Institutional Division of the

Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

5. Appellant has now completed his brief and requests leave of this Court for the belated filing of

the same. Appellant’s completed brief is filed simultaneously with this Motion.

6. The Brief was not timely prepared in this matter due to the press of the business, both trial and appellate. Additionally there were issues unique and of a first nature to Counsel for Appellant which increased the time necessary for research and added to the complexity of the Brief. Furthermore, Counsel attended continuing education a part of which assisted in preparing the Brief.

Respectfully Submitted,
