APPEAL IN CAUSE NO. 1172613 IN THE 185TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE THE REPORTER’S RECORD

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

NOW COMES, WILLIE FELDER, Appellant in the above entitled and

numbered cause, by and through his attorney of record, Stanley G. Schneider, and

submits this Motion for Extension of Time to file the Reporter’s Record in this cause

and would show the Court the following:

1. Appellant was charged by indictment with engaging in organized

criminal activity. Appellant was placed on deferred adjudication probation for a

period of eight years. Appellant’s probation was revoked after a motion to adjudicate

hearing. The trial court assessed Appellant’s punishment to five years in the

institutional division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Notice of Appeal

1 was given in a timely fashion.

2. Appellant’s appeal bond was made when shortly after the notice of

appeal was filed.

3. On April 28, 2015, Ms. Logan, the court reporter informed undersigned

counsel that the cost of the record would be approximately $1,750. Ms. Logan was

informed that arrangements would be made immediately for her to be paid in full.

4. Appellant’s health began to decline during the proceeding in the trial

court. Appellant is currently in the ICU unit at Cy Fair Hospital after suffering a

heart attack and/or stroke. Appellant’s prognosis has not improved since being

admitted to the hospital on May 5, 2015.

5. Appellant has been working diligently to make arrangements to pay for

the record. Because of the decline in his health, his efforts were hindered. Appellant

requests that the Court allow him and additional 60 days pay Ms. Logan.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that the Court

extend the time for making arrangements with the Court Reporter and pay her for the

record in this cause.

2 Respectfully submitted,
