This case is on appeal from the County Court at Law of Nacogdoches County, Texas. 2. The case below was styled the State of Texas vs. Mitzi Gail Allgor, and numbered CF1302374. 3. Appellant was convicted of Possession of Marijuana. 4. Appellant was assessed a sentence of 120 days in jail on January 8, 2015. 5. Notice of appeal was given on January 8, 2015. 6. The clerk’s record was filed on March 5, 2015; the reporter’s record was filed on March 19, 2015. 7. The appellate brief is presently due on April 20, 2015. 8. Appellant requests an extension of time of 30 days from the date a complete appellate record is filed. 9. No previous extensions to file Appellant’s brief have been requested. 10. Defendant is not currently incarcerated. -1- 11. Appellant relies on the following facts as good cause for the requested extension: Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 34.6(d), Appellant has requested the Official Court Reporter of Nacogdoches County Court at Law to supplement the Reporter’s Record delivered on March 19, 2015. See Exhibit A. Appellant requested that the court reporter include in the Reporter’s Record a transcript of the voir dire. As filed with the Court of Appeals, the Reporter’s Record is incomplete as it does not include any of the voir dire proceedings. Accordingly, it is impossible to prepare Appellant’s Brief until such time as the Reporter’s Record has been supplemented with the missing transcript. WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this Court grant this Motion To Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief, and for such other and further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.
