TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

Now comes ELIAS SHAWN BIHL, 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 340TH Judicial District Court of TOM

GREEN County, Texas.

3. The case below was styled the STATE OF TEXAS vs. ELIAS

SHAWN BIHL, and numbered C-13-0631-SA.

4. Appellant was convicted of Aggravated Assault with a deadly

weapon, second degree felony enhanced to habitual.

5. Appellant was assessed a sentence of Thirty (30) years confinement in

the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on May 20,

2014. 6. Notice of appeal was given on August 15, 2014.

7. The clerk's record was filed on December 10, 2014; the reporter's

record was filed on October 9, 2014.

8. The appellant's brief is presently due on January 9, 2015.

9. Appellant requests an extension of time of 60 days from the present

date, which would make the brief due on March 10, 2015.

10. No extension to file the brief has been received in this cause.

11. Defendant is currently incarcerated.

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

extension:

During the time period allotted for preparing Appellant's brief, Counsel for

Appellant had a vacation letter on file for the courts that he commonly practices in,

said letter is attached.

Further, Counsel for the Appellant has recently been appointed on an

accelerated appeal which will involve a lengthy reporter's record. Counsel

requires additional time to obtain those materials and complete Appellant's brief,

and submits that a sixty (60) day extension would provide sufficient time to obtain

the materials and complete the brief in this matter.

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,
