APPELLANT’S AMENDED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING OF APPELLANT’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

COMES NOW THE APPELLANT, by and through his appointed

attorney of record, Paul M. Evans, in the above entitled and numbered

cause, and moves this Court, to grant the Appellant’s Motion to Extend

Time for Filing Appellant’s Brief, and, in support thereof, would show the

Court as follows:

I.

Appellant’s Brief was due before this Court on July 13, 2015. No

previous Motions to Extend Time have been sought.

II.

The undersigned counsel needs additional time to examine the record

and complete the research necessary to complete the Appellant’s Brief. This

Court has noted that the Reporter’s Record was filed on June 11, 2015. However, after repeated inquiries in the meantime, Counsel was not able to

access these records through the Travis County District Clerk until July 14,

2015. Counsel has not had an adequate opportunity at this time to review

the record. Counsel would hereby respectfully request the deadline be

extended to September 4, 2015.

III.

This Motion is not made for purposes of delay, but so that justice

might be served.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Defendant respectfully

prays that this Court, upon good cause shown, grant the Appellant’s Motion

to Extend Time for Filing Appellant’s Brief.

Respectfully submitted, Law Office of Paul M. Evans 811 Nueces Street Austin, Texas 78701 (512) 569-1418 (512) 692-8002 FAX
