Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P., 10.1,10.5(b], and 38.6(d), Indigent Appellant, NATHAN BURGESS files his Second Motion to Extend Time for Filing Appellant's Brief, and in support of his motion he shows the following: Appellant's appeal brief is currently due on NOVEMBER 17th, 2015. Appellant now requests a sixty (60) day extension of time to file Appellant's brief, making the brief due on or about January 17th, 2015, or a time permitted by the court based on the following criteria beyond the control of appellant: Appellant relies on thefollowing reasons to explain the need for the extension: - Appellant's Counsel, Attorney Alan Kramer Taggart, withdrew July 16th-2014 from the case. It has been determined that Attorney Taggart had been improperly appointed. Attorney Taggart never filed an application in 2013 or 2014 to be added to the master list of attorneys from which court appointments are lawfully made in Collin County per the Fairness Act. Appellant therefore believes that Attorney NO. 05-14-00216-CR NATHAN E BURGESS VS. THE STATE OF TEXAS Taggart   was   professionally   and   legally   unqualified   to   represent,   as   Collin   County   places   certain   requirements   on   appointed   attorneys   (e.g.,   continuing   education).   Appellant   is   very   concerned   that   court   staff   conspired   to   his   detriment.   Unfortunately,  Judge  Corinne  Mason  refused  to  consider  this  any  kind  of  violation  of   Appellant’s  rights  and  no  mention  was  made  of  new  trial,  she  then  recused  herself   on  July  18th,  2014  after  appointing  Mr.  Schultz  on  July  16th,  2014  from  the  bench.         The   clerk’s  office  shows  the  court  officially  appointed   Attorney   William   Schultz  on   July   22nd,   2014,   to   represent   Appellant   on   appeal   in   the   place   of   Attorney   Taggart.   Appellant   began   immediately   on   July   16th,   2014   to   attempt   contact   with   his   new   counsel.  Again,  Appellant’s  brief  was  due  in  the  Dallas  COA  approximately  the  next   week.   After   many   unsuccessful   attempts   to   reach   Attorney   Schultz   at   his   own   number,   Appellant   contacted   the   Office   of   Indigent   Defense   in   Collin   County.   The   secretary   was   able   to   locate   Attorney   Schultz.   Appellant   and   Attorney   Schultz   communicated  very  briefly  on  the  phone,  for  a  period  of  approximately  two  minutes.   Attorney  Schultz  immediately  told  Appellant  that  he  was  busy,  he  had  no  time,  and   there  would  be  no  physical  meeting  to  discuss  the  case.  Appellant  was  professional   and  courteous.  When  Appellant  objected,  Attorney  Schultz  informed  Appellant  that   he   had   no   options.   Appellant   would   have   no   say   at   all   in   the   matter   and   hung   up   the   telephone.  Plaintiff  never  had   a   physical  meeting  with  Mr.  Schultz.  During  a  hearing,   while   in   the   courtroom,   Attorney   Taggart   had   suggested   that   he   had   spoken   prior   with   Attorney   Schultz.   Attorney   Schultz’   unprofessional   behavior   made   this   apparent.  Appellant  is  very  concerned  for  his  liberty.  Appellant  has  maintained  his   NO.  05-­‐14-­‐00216-­‐CR    NATHAN  E  BURGESS  VS.  THE  STATE  OF  TEXAS     innocence  and  has  remained  fully  convinced  that  –  if  not  for  an  improper  conspiracy   and   corruption   in   the   courtroom   and   others   –   his   case   would   have   been   thrown   out   even   before   it   began.   Appellant   understood   that   his   brief   was   due   promptly   and   the   appointed  attorney  needed  to  give  attention  to  the  case  so  that  he  could  understand   the  case  from  appellant’s  viewpoint,  not  only  from  the  ambiguously  written  stories   on   the   record.   Appellant   got   into   communication   with   the   State   Bar   of   Texas,   the   Office  of  Indigent  Defense,  and  the  State  Commission  on  Judicial  Conduct.  Appellant   also   attempted   to   work   with   Judge   Mason   and   Judge   Barnett   walker   to   force   communication   between   his   appointed   counsel   and   himself.   Otherwise,   Appellant   wanted  to  have  another  attorney  who  would  properly  advocate  for  him,  as  required   by  the  State  Bar  of  Texas  and  the  Office  of  Indigent  Defense  in  Collin  County  via  the   Fairness  Act.  Appellant  believed  that  he  was  and  still  is  due  a  new  trial,  due  to  the   misconduct   among   the   court   staff   and   legal   representation   by   an   attorney   unqualified   for   appointment   in   2012,   2013   and   2014,   by   the   Office   of   Indigent   Defense   according   to   the   indigent   coordinator.   However,   Appellant   does   not   know   how   to   effect   this   outcome.   At   this   point,   Attorney   Schultz   has   manifested   his   unwillingness   and   inability   to   be   of   any   great   help,   so   Appellant   is   now   busy   concerning  himself  with  his  own  pursuit  of  justice.     Appellant   sought   to   recuse   the   Appellant   Counsel   on   several   occasions,   both   by   submitting  DISMISS  AND  SUBSTITUTION  OF  COUNSEL  requests  to  the  Collin  County   Court   at   Law   and   The   COA   in   Dallas,   without   success;   he   was   told   he   could   not   have   NO.  05-­‐14-­‐00216-­‐CR    NATHAN  E  BURGESS  VS.  THE  STATE  OF  TEXAS     hybrid   representation   and   would   have   to   keep   the   court   appointed   attorney.   Consequently,  Appellant  had  to  keep  Mr.  Schultz  until  now.       Currently,  Appellant  has  sought  since  September  21st,  2015  to  dismiss  the  attorney,   Mr.  Schultz.  He  has  had  to  even  threaten  a  lawsuit  to  inspire  Mr.  Schultz  to  send  him   the   file   from   which   he   wrote   the   Appellant   brief,   but   to   date,   Appellant   has   only   received  approximately  18  pages  from  the  attorney.  The  18  pages  include  the  COA   Memorandum,   and   a   larger   quantity   of   pages   from   a   random   site   with   some   print   out   of   rules   and   regulations   of   sorts.   Appellant   believes   he   has   a   right   to   use   he   complete  file  to  write  his  Appeal  Brief  and  it  appears  to  Appellant  that  his  ex  court   appointed   attorney   is   seeking   to   do   damage   to   Appellant’s   chances   of   writing   a   successful   and   winning   appeal   brief.   He   has   been   contacted   repeatedly   requesting   these  files  and  has  said  he  has  no  files  to  transfer.  Appellant  wants  to  know  which   files  he  used  to  write  the  appeal  brief;  and  can  not  imagine  how  the  attorney  could   have   known   the   extents   of   law   that   might   be   applicable   as   relating   to   the   constitutional   issues   involved   in   his   case,   as   well   as   details   that   occurred   that   are   of   major   importance   to   the   truth   of   the   testimony   given   during   testimony   and   cross   examination  without  a  record  to  work.       Appellant  will  not  delve  into  the  labyrinth  of  personal  injuries  that  this  attorney  has   caused   Appellant,   however,   he   will   simply   say,   he   has   not   been   represented   in   a   professional   manner   worthy   of   a   career   attorney.     For   example,   the   case   involves   Mens  Rea,  Intentionally,  Willingly,  Knowingly,  which  was  not,  required  elements  of   NO.  05-­‐14-­‐00216-­‐CR    NATHAN  E  BURGESS  VS.  THE  STATE  OF  TEXAS     the   prosecution,   however,   it   was   added,   yet   not   proven   by   the   prosecution   during   trial,   nor   considered   in   the   COA   opinion,   unless   that   is   the   reason   for   the   lack   of   evidence   to   convict   in   the   Conclusions   of   law   in   the   next   to   last   paragraph   of   the   memorandum   opinion,   however,   the   appointed   attorney   did   not   challenge   mens   rea   in  his  appeal  brief.  He  attorney  now  will  not  turn  over  the  file  so  Appellant  can  have   a   fair   chance   at   writing   his   appeal   brief   to   challenge   the   prosecution  on  this  issue.   Obviously,  the  Appointed  Attorney  is  doing  what  he  can,  intentionally  or  negligently,     to   hinder   Appellant’s   success.   He   was   on   file   as   representing   attorney   during   plenary  power  of  COA,  yet  did  nothing  to  move  the  court  to  reconsider,  he  only  sat   silently,   and   now   refuses   to   withdraw   as   counsel,   seemingly   holding   Appellant   hostage   for   some   unknown   reason,   or   simply   to   try   to   control   and   harass   the   appellant.       The   appointed   attorney   has   also   been   made   aware   that   the   COA   Dallas,   has   made   Appellant  aware  that  he  has  not  formally  withdrawn  from  the  case,  even  though  he   has   no   intention   of   filing   any   documents   with   the   court,   and   Appellant   has   “Fired”   the  Attorney  written  clearly  in  an  email,  and  consistently  told  the  attorney  he  does   not  want  his  representation  past  his  unsuccessful  attempt  at  the  COA  appeal  brief.   Even   the   COA   found   there   was   not   sufficient   evidence   to   convict   the   Appellant   in   their  conclusion  of  law,  however,  affirmed  the  County  decision.    So,  by  not  passing   along  the  file  as  necessary;  by  not  withdrawing  from  the  COA  Case  presently  in  this   Court,  he  is  hindering  the  timely  work  of  the  Appellant  and  causing  personal  injury   to  Appellant,  and  delay  in  this  court,  and  Appellant  has  to  now  seek  the  grace  and   NO.  05-­‐14-­‐00216-­‐CR    NATHAN  E  BURGESS  VS.  THE  STATE  OF  TEXAS     favor  of  the  court  for  additional  time  to  attain  the  complete  and  accurate  copy  of  the   record,   which   should   have   been   diligently   provided   to   him   by   this   attorney,   Mr.   William   Schultz.     Appellant   will   need   time   to   ascertain   these   files,   write   his   brief,   therefore,   he   is   requesting   from   the   court   to   not   be   placed   in   a   position   of   having   to   attempt   to   write   his   appeal   without   all   available   case   files,   and   adequate   time   to   write  his  brief.       Also,  the  attorney  did  not  request  the  court  reporters  to  provide  court  transcripts  of   all   court   hearings,   or   the   reporters   have   not   followed   such   requests   by   filing   the   original  copies  of  all  files  in  this  instant  criminal  case  with  the  County  Court  at  Law   Clerks  Office  in  a  timely  manner,  based  on  the  fact  that  this  case  has  now  passed  3   years  old  as  of  July  13th,  2015.  Appellant  has  left  voice  messages  and  afterward  he   has   sent   follow-­‐up   notices   in   email   form   to   most   all   the   court   reporters   that   have   been   associated   with   this   case,   and   have   only   received   and   answer   from   one   reporter,   but   even   she   was   not   obliged   to   provide   these   documents   without   considerable   legwork   from   Appellant.   Appellant   will   need   time   to   get   all   these   reporters   records   which   were   not   asked   for   and   provided   for   which   should   have   been  part  of  the  attorney’s  record,  or  possibly,  they  simply  were  not  provided  by  the   associated  court  reporters  of  this  case.  Plaintiff  would  not  be  in  this  situation  if  the   attorney   would   have   simply   done   his   job,   then   the   file   would   be   complete   and   when   presented   to   Appellant   upon   completion   of   the   attorney’s   work,   Appellant   would   have  already  received  the  complete  file  and  he  would  have  been  ready  to  begin  the   brief  to  be  filed  timely.  Appellant  has  up  to  this  last  week,  as  the  court  is  aware  from   NO.  05-­‐14-­‐00216-­‐CR    NATHAN  E  BURGESS  VS.  THE  STATE  OF  TEXAS     the   many   phone   calls,   been   in   contact   with   these   individuals   and   even   the   County   Clerk   at   Law   Office   without   success   at   getting   a   complete   record;   he   has   a   partial   record,   but   not   a   complete   record,   which   is   necessary   to   write   an   accurate,   persuasive,  and  forceful  appeal.       Appellant   has   contacted   the   prosecutor’s   office,   Mr.   John   Rolater,   and   has   been   kept   him  informed  of  these  missing  documents  for  the  last  three  weeks,  as  well  as,  other   altered,  and  /  or  forged  documents  in  the  file;  as  well  as,  missing  documents  from   Judge   Mary   Murphy   that   authorized   3   recusal   hearings,   as   well   as,   the   court   transcripts   of   those   hearings.   There   does   not   seem   to   be   a   record   even   in   the   Clerks   Records   making   reference   to   these   hearings.   Also,   the   three   dismissals,   (withdrawals),   of   the   court   appointed   attorneys   have   valuable   information   critical   to   Appellant’s   case   brief.   Appellant   desires   all   records   to   present   to   the   court   and   does  not  believe  that  he  should  be  made  to  proceed  until  all  the  files  are  available   for  review  before  this  court.  These  are  not  tactical  issues  with  Appellant  himself,  but   with  the  trial  court,  and  post  trial  hearings,  and  Mr.  Schultz,  the  appointed  attorney   that   Appellant   has   tried   to   dismiss   without   success.   Even   the   trial   attorney,   Mr.   Taggart   has   made   Appellant   aware   that   he   still   has   retained   case   records   and   has   those   files   in   his   possession.   (Mr.   Taggart   did   provide   a   file   after   his   dismissal,   however,  Appellant  can  not  be  certain  as  to  the  completeness  of  that  file.  Mr.  Taggart   was  ordered  by  the  court  to  turn  all  files  over  to  Mr.  Schultz,  however,  Mr.  Schultz   says   he   never   received   any   files   and   does   not   have   any   files).     Appellant   has   NO.  05-­‐14-­‐00216-­‐CR    NATHAN  E  BURGESS  VS.  THE  STATE  OF  TEXAS     requested,  and  then  demanded  the  return  of  all  his  files,  but  has  not  received  them   at  this  time.       Plaintiff   could   write   more,   but   will   refrain   since   this   is   simply   a   motion   for   an   extension  of  time  to  file  his  Appellant  Brief,  and  not  a  brief  against  his  conviction.       WHEREFORE,  PREMISES  CONSIDERED,  Indigent  Appellant  requests  that  this     Court  grant  this  Motion  and  extend  the  date  for  Appellants  to  file  his  brief  by  no  less   than   sixty   (60)   days   or   a   time   permitted   by   the   court   based   on   circumstances   beyond  the  control  of  Appellant,  being  up  to  and  including  January  17th,  2016.     Indigent  Appellant  additionally  requests  all  other  relief  to  which  he  may  be  entitled,   including  ordering  all  parties  at  this  late  date  to  provide  the  documents  to  Appellant   without  cost  so  that  he  may  write  his  brief  to  this  court,  and  ordering  proof  of  the   qualifications  of  the  court  appointed  trial  attorney,  Mr.  Taggart.  Plaintiff  believes  the   complete   record   will   prove   to   the   court   that   his   case   should   be   dismissed   or   new   trial  ordered  in  a  different  venue.         Respectfully  submitted,               Nathan  Earl  Burgess  4101  S  Custer  Road,  Apt  3313     McKinney,  TX  75070  Tel:  (972)  971-­‐8361  Fax:  (972)  232-­‐2356     Email:  pilotschoice@hotmail.com         NO.  05-­‐14-­‐00216-­‐CR    NATHAN  E  BURGESS  VS.  THE  STATE  OF  TEXAS                                           CERTIFICATE  OF  SERVICE       Pursuant   to   TEX.   R.   APP.   P.   9.5,   I   certify   that   a   true   copy   of   Appellant's   Motion   to   Extend   Time   to   File   Brief   was   served   on   Appellee’s   Attorney,   John   R.   Rolater,   Jr.,   via   electronic  email  on  November  9th,  2015  in  a  manner  allowed  by  the  rules:       John  R.  Rolater,  Jr.  Collin  County  District  Attorney’s  Office     Appellate  Division  2100  Bloomdale  Road,  Suite  100     McKinney,   TX   75071  (972)   548-­‐4323  (972)   424-­‐1460   (metro)  (214)   491-­‐4860   (fax)  Email:  jrolater@co.collin.tx.us           Nathan  E.  Burgess         Nathan  Earl  Burgess  4101  S  Custer  Road,  Apt  3313     McKinney,  TX  75070  Tel:  (972)  971-­‐8361  Fax:  (972)  232-­‐2356     Email:  pilotschoice@hotmail.com     NO.  05-­‐14-­‐00216-­‐CR    NATHAN  E  BURGESS  VS.  THE  STATE  OF  TEXAS       NO.  05-­‐14-­‐00216-­‐CR    NATHAN  E  BURGESS  VS.  THE  STATE  OF  TEXAS     From: Nathan Burgess pilotschoice@hotmail.com Subject: RE: Transcripts, 001-86625-2012, (002-86625-2012) Date: November 5, 2015 at 4:56 PM To: jdugger@co.collin.tx.us Thank&you,& If&you&can&make&the&original&and&get&that&to&the&county&court&at&law&clerks&office.&Then&we&can work&on&the&copies&needed&for&the&court&and&appeal.& Thank&you Nathan&Burgess >&From:&jdugger@co.collin.tx.us >&To:&pilotschoice@hotmail.com >&Subject:&RE:&Transcripts,&001I86625I2012,&(002I86625I2012) >&Date:&Thu,&5&Nov&2015&21:25:58&+0000 >& >&Mr.&Burgess:&The&hearing&dates&I've&been&able&to&find&where&this&case&was&heard&in&the&296th District&Court&are&8I19I14,&9I3I14&and&9I18I14.&If&there&are&other&dates,&please&let&me&know.

Nathan Burgess requests copies of the transcripts from all hearings that you were responsible for in his case cited as STATE OF TEXAS V. NATHAN EARL BURGESS, CASE NO. 001-86625-2012. These items should have all been requested by the court appointed attorneys, Dale Rose, Stapleton, Alan Taggart, or William Schultz. I know you are well familiar with these Court Appointed Attorneys, (Taggart was not qualified as Court appoint attorney). Please provide these documents to the Colin County At Law Clerks Office in the original form. I was approved as indigent with appoint attorney so tis should be without costs to me personally. I am sure that the Court of Appeals of Teas In Austin Texas will also be requiring these documents as well, so I would appreciate as expeditious service as possible. The appeal is due November 17th, 2015 or the court permits extension. Please advise as to when you can these documents available that were not provided in the Clerks Record. I believe the rule is that the original must be filed with the Clerks Office before otherwise distributing. Thank you Sir, I am sure you have all the records as to what files need to be submitted; I am requesting any and al files related to the case including Attorney Dismissals and substitutions and Or withdrawals; specifically relating to attorneys Rose, Stapleton, and Taggart… I realize this is a huge file and may take you a time to provide, but please advise as to exact time that I can request extension of the Court of Appeals. Thank you, Nathan Burgess Appellant 972-971-8361 PS If any questions or if you care to advise you can contact me via email or phone as provided. Thank you Sir...

Yes, I am still without costs and would be glad to file whatever paperwork you need to get paid by the arresting county. The case is not in the 5th COA but Court of Appeals of Texas, so yes all transcriptions are necessary on appeal. I was informed to ask you for the transcripts and to contact the Court if necessary to attain these files for the appeal. It appears as if you are a lawyer as well as a court reporter. Please let me know what document you need to provide these documents. Yes, the rules are clear about criminal trials and case hearings belong in the County Clerks Record, so I am asking you to make the original copy available to the Clerk immediately or as soon as possible. Please give me an estimate of the time it can all be provided. The current date set before the Court of Appeals of Texas id November 17th, 2015l however I will seek an extension of time to file based on my attorney’s incompetent behavior. He should have known the files were needed but did not do his duty owed to me as a client. Please let me know what I need to do, what documents you have that have not been transcribed and filed with he clerks record. I would like everything outstanding transcribed with original to be filed with clerk and additional provided to me for the appeal. Thank you Nathan Burgess 972-971-8361 PS I have no other email for you and was given this emil via the JVCC Compliance Office. If you prefer another email, you will need to provide it. Otherwise I will use the one you have provided with your license to practice as a court reporter. Also, I am not asking for you to authorize any additional work by you, it isn’t your job to authorize anything, so I am not seeking your authorization. I will be seeking the Court of Appeals order to do so if necessary. So if you will just simply make the copies available to the clerks office as requested in the original form according to law I’d appreciate it very much. Then we can work on getting me a copy to write my appeal due for in 10 days. Please let me know if you have questions or concerns… On Nov 6, 2015, at 5:35 PM, Kristen Kopp wrote: Hello, Mr. Burgess: Please address any future correspondence, if any, to work e-mails and phone numbers.

I do want to be clear, Mr. Taggart has forwarded some files after he withdrew from the case, however, he was ordered to turn over the complete case files to Mr Schultz by Judge Corinne Mason. Mr. Schultz has been requested repeatedly to turn over the file, which under threat of a lawsuit, he sent a limited file consisting if the court decision to affirm conviction and a print out of a couple laws on dumping from some website. I have requested the complete file and have not received but about 20 pages from Mr Schultz, since I do not have a case file to work from I can not file an appeal timely and have no option but to motion the court for a stay until mandamus review can be heard and decision made as to the proprietary interest of the files made by the court. I am sorry for the delay, I hope you will not challenge the stay based on good cause.

If younwould like to confirm its authenticity please do so. Thank you, Nathan Burgess cell… 972-971-8361 PS This is the document that was sent from you with the Prosecutors file. letter to attorney general 11/9/15, 10:26 AM From: Nathan Burgess To: Drew Burgess , Nathan Burgess Subject: letter to attorney general Date: September 16, 2012 at 1:45:17 PM CDT Mr Attorney General and Staff, Please allow me to introduce myself. First of all I am a Christian, saved in 1977 in Ft Worth Texas at Northside Assembly of God Church. The experience radically changed my life. I immediately stated attending church as often as the doors were opened. I had realized that I was a sinner that had not known about the right way to live my life since I did not understand my need of a savior. I immediately stopped drinking and running around and started a new life of Christian service. I wish I had been able to live completely without sin as the bible encourages us to do, but I did try my best to live to the best possible standards of my church and the community. I have done my best to live by those standards to this day, of course, not without personal failures, but it is still the way I live and have taught my children to live. Unfortunately, I lost my wife of 20 years in 2000, so I have raised my three children, Drew, Tiffany and Shaun who range from 23 to 27 years old, all students and exceptional citizens. I have done my best to teach them to believe in law and order, however, these current events are stressing us to the point of doubt as to the accuracy of my teachings; the police have been abusive and so has the court system. We are currently in an appeals process for a 24 hour notice to vacate which is not legal in Texas, but we have been evicted, at least my kids have from a home in Murphy Texas, yet I was not allowed to participate, yet publically, I have been trashed for being a squatter, etc, but have not been allowed to participate in the eviction process, but have also been accused as having, Naked possession or just plain trespassing. All of the names are pure fabrications of the truth. My children had a written contract with the Castle keeper Inc, and I was invited by my son, Shaun, to stay at the home, and I was at the home from the day of lease until July 11, when we were all illegally disenfranchised by Judge Payton and The Collin County Constables office. On the 13th, of July, I was arrested by Murphy Police, after Officer Hermes, a seargeant with the MPd, under threat of arrest, ordered me onto the property to remove items which Page 1 of 4 letter to attorney general 11/9/15, 10:26 AM partially touched the street or sidewalk. I under duress and the “Emergency Doctrine” disregarded my own items, immediately followed orders and rapidly removed the items from the curb and sidewalk, (only one item was on the sidewalk). I mistakenly believed that a 200 lb, heat treated, display shelf piece would not break when I pushed it, but it did indeed break, at a thousand dollar loss to myself. I continued removing the other items from the area as ordered by hermes. He told me as I was arrested for breaking the glass, illegal dumping: then proceeded to intimidate my son, trying to arrest him as well. He charged me with illegal dumping and disorderly conduct, blocking the street; however it has since been dismissed and a new charge, (unreasonable noise) has been added. On Sept 4th, 2012, another charge has been added and sent to the judge for “PC”, the charge, Criminal Mischievous, for knowingly and intentionally destroying, “door”. I deny all charges and under duress and unlawful coercion, my civil rights were violated by hermes, when he forced me under threat of arrest to return to the property, then did not like my performance, arrested me. I was told we had 10 minutes to get it done, I then told the officer to do whatever he wanted with the items, but was forced to do the work against my will, then arrested. I claim false arrest and malicious prosecution and ask the attorney general office to investigate these charges thoroughly, as you do have access to the videos from April to July 13th, 2012, and all my words can be validated for accuracy. I was not allowed to be a defendant; I was not on the property when the officer told me to move the items; I told the officer to do as he wished with the items, after he told me a mover was coming in 10 minutes to remove the items; I was told to go back on the property to remove the items from sidewalk and street under penalty of arrest if I refused to comply; then arrested because I ignorantly broke I shelving piece of my own family possession when I tried to move it incorrectly. I am currently in an appeals process, which has been going on before any criminal allegations have been made against me, so therefore the papers are needed for evidence in the civil suit, not criminal at this time. Also, I am not violent, never have been, never will be. Lies have been thrown at me from every direction, and if you find any record of violence from me from any source please make me aware of it and I will bring this to the attention of any attorney that may be willing to take my case in the future. At this point, I have no attorney, have not filed any lawsuits and not made Page 2 of 4 letter to attorney general 11/9/15, 10:26 AM any decisions about lawsuits. As far as, A “Bomb” comment being made toward the city of “Murphy”; I have sent that information to the FBI, Texas Rangers, ETC, and asked them to investigate it. I was innocently speaking of a civil strategy with the Dallas Morning News reporter, and nothing to do with a device that would harm anyone at all; pure fabrication and lies, as a matter of fact, no mention of the city of Murphy had been made at all up until July 13th, when I was arrested, so therefore, the comment made was well before that date while we were talking of only civil litigation. The “bomb” in question, was concerning 12 months of unpaid fees owed to the defendants by the Plaintiff in the case that could add up to over $400,000 based on his denial of contractual claims in the eviction case. The contract was for employment, Subcontractor work and no fees have been paid; salaries, hourly wages etc. So the “bomb” cited by Mr Farley of the DMN, was purely a “Money Bomb” of counterclaims for the trial against the defendant. All this was done via text messaging from my phone so it can all be verified, and undoubtedly proven that these claims of threats against the City of Murphy or it’s employees are false and malicious and designed to deceive and to bring unfair advantage to the city’s case by false representations of the truth. The preceding information is not the work of a trained, “lying lawyer”, just a Texas Citizen that you hold the videos and audio to prove my innocence and the disingenuousness of the murphy Police and their reports that I was throwing things onto the property from the truck when they arrived on the scene, which the videos show I was sitting under a shade tree with my kid and his friends when they arrived 6 vehicle strong, blocking the road at both ends, driving like crazy persons back and forth in front of the property, on a quiet residential street, until they stopped and Hermes started his military type crackdown of a peaceful setting of an evicted family trying their best under limited resources to remove their items from the property where the constable’s office and Castle keepers unlawfully placed all the items and did not place them in a place off of the property or in a safe storage facility as the writ of possession ordered but left them scattered on the entire square footage of the front lawn of the home and the city gave us until a certain time to remove the items which we were communicating with the City Code department that Had just come by and said we were doing a good job and they would return with police to work something out since it looked like we were running out of time. We never expected such a show of violent force as we received at the hand of Page 3 of 4 letter to attorney general 11/9/15, 10:26 AM hermes and his officers. Strictly unconstitutional all around. Hermes them proceeded to make treats about terrorism and stalking charges against my son. Please research this case, it was highly visible in the media and we were made to be Squatters, but in reality we are still fighting a 24 hour notice to vacate. The actions of the court and police department are illegal in our estimations. Please investigate the case and you will see it is over an illegal notice to vacate and nothing else, regardless of media attraction and misrepresentations and outright lies. Sincerely Nathan Burgess PS Murphy City attorney’s have been wrongfully involved in this civil case, gone crazy now, since June 6th, 2012, well before any police or criminal allegations. She even told the plaintiff attorney, according to statements made by plaintiff attorney during pretrial, that “you get rid of the younger Burgess’s and Ill get rid of him, meaning myself”. Where were these kind of statements reasonable due to the fact we were in court, under an eviction hearing, and no judgments of any kind had yet been made by the JP Judge? Not legal procedure, unreasonable and unconstitutional. Thank you Page 4 of 4
