  SECON MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

      Now comes Devon Ray Davis, Appellant in the above styled and numbered

cause, and moves this Court to grant an extension of time to file appellant's brief,

pursuant to Rule 38.6 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and for good cause

shows the following:

      1.      This case is on appeal from the 196th Judicial District Court of Hunt

County, Texas.

      2.      The case below was styled State of Texas v. Devon Ray Davis, Cause

No. 22,886.

      3.      Appellant was convicted in Cause 22,886 of Robbery and was

sentenced to sixty (60) years in the Texas Department of Corrections, Institutional

Division.

      4.      Notice of appeal was given on February 13, 2015.
        6.      The clerk's record in this case was filed on February 27, 2015 and the

Supplemental Clerk’s Record was filed April 11, 2015; the reporter's record in this

case was filed on February 27, 2015.

        7.      The appellate brief in this case is presently due on June 11, 2015.

        8.      Appellant requests an extension of time of fifteen (15) days from the

present date.

        9.      One prior request for extension to file the brief has been received in this

case.

        10.     Defendant is currently incarcerated.

        11.     Appellant relies on the following facts as good cause for the requested

extension:

        Appellant’s attorney, Katherine A. Ferguson, has requested the record, but

Appellant’s attorney requests additional time to sufficiently analyze the material

contained in the lower court proceedings in order to effectively prepare a brief in

this case.

        Appellant’s Counsel further shows that counsel is also working on a brief due

in the Sixth Court of Appeals on June 11, 2015 in cause nos. 06-15-00065-CR; 06-

15-00066-CR; and 06-15-00071-CR, styled Christopher Anthony Davidson v. The

State of Texas.

        Appellant has conferred with counsel for the State of Texas and the State of
Texas does not oppose the requested extension.

      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.

                                      Respectfully submitted,
