V.

The undersigned attorney has begun work on this case but has been unable to

complete the brief due to necessary work needed to be completed on several other appeal

cases and due to her busy schedule in both the district and county courts of Travis,

Williamson and Hays Counties. She has recently filed a brief in the case of Jesus

Villalobos v. State of Texas, Cause No. 03-13-00687-CR. She is in the process of

completing a brief in the case of Edward Garcia v. State of Texas, Cause No. 03-14-

00269-CR which is due next week. She asks that this extension be granted so that she

may effectively represent Appellant and so that justice may be done in this case.

Respectfully Submitted
