MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINE FOR FILING APPELLANT’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

COMES NOW, Teran Pennick, the Appellant, in the above styled and numbered

cause, and files this motion for an extension to June 12, 2015, to file the appellate brief.

In support of this motion, appellant shows the following:

I.

The appellant was convicted in the County Court at Law No. 6 of Travis County,

Texas, in Cause Number C1CR13200027 styled State of Texas vs. Jose Sosa. The

appellant pled not guilty, and had a jury trial. At the conclusion of the trial, appellant was

found guilty and sentenced to 1 year in the Travis County Jail, probated for 2 years. A

timely notice of appeal was filed in this case. The appellant's brief is due May 13, 2015.

II.

The reason for the extension of the deadline to file the appellant’s brief is based on

the following:

Due to confusion regarding the counsel of record for Mr. Pennick, the reporter’s record in the case was never requested and therefore has not been submitted to this court.

Arrangements are being made for the record to be submitted so that Appellant’s attorney

may review it and prepare a brief in a timely manner.

For these reasons, counsel moves that the deadline for the brief be extended until

June 12, 2015.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
