Trial Court Judge:

The Honorable James Shoemake, Presiding Judge 434th Judicial District Court

1422 Eugene Heimann Circle ,Richmond, Texas 2 To The Honorable Justices of This Court:

Comes now, Todd David Rogers, the Appellant, and files this his request to extend

time to file Appellant’s Brief and in support of such request would show unto this

Honorable Court as follows:

I

This is Appellant’s initial request for an extension of time to file his brief. On the 13th

day of October this Court issued a directive to the Appellant that his brief was due on the

12th day of November 2015. This Order was issued shortly after the clerk’s record was

supplemented by the Ft Bend County District Clerk with a copy of the final Judgement that

forms the basis for this appeal. Since that time Appellant has filed a timely Motion for New

Trial within the Trial Court and that Motion is set to be heard in the 434th Judicial District

Court on the 25th day of November, 2015. The ruling on the Motion may well enter into the

development of the issues that will be presented on the appeal. The Appellant believes that

justice will best be served if the issues are fully developed and presented to this Court. The

requested delay is not the result of conscious indifference but because of the need for

additional information .

Prayer

Wherefore Premises Considered the Appellant prays that this Honorable Court extend the

time for Appellant to file his brief until after the ruling of the trial court on the Motion for

New Trial. Respectfully submitted,
