The State of Texas, Appellee
On Appeal from the 207th District Court of Comal County in
Cause No. CR2014-343, the Hon. Jack H. Robison, Presiding
Motion for Extension of Time
To File Appellant’s Brief on Appeal
TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:
COMES NOW, Christopher Arthur Kurtz, Appellant in the
above styled and numbered cause, by and through John G.
Jasuta, his undersigned attorney of record, and respectfully enters
this “Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief on
Appeal,” and in support of such Motion would show the Court:
I
Appellant was convicted of the offenses of Aggravated
Kidnapping, Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle and
Tampering with Physical Evidence. Punishment was assessed at
terms of Seventy (70) years, Seventy-five (75) years, and Thirty (30)
years confinement. The trial court imposed sentence on November
20, 2014. Notice of Appeal was timely filed with the clerk of the
trial court on February 17, 2015, a motion for new trial having
been filed.
II
The deadline for filing Appellant’s Brief with the Court is the
23rd day of April, 2015. This request for an extension is based
upon the inability of his undersigned attorney to finish research
on the issues raised by the trial of the case.
III
Said attorney would further show that he will require an
additional forty-five (45) days in which to complete the research
and prepare Appellant’s Brief on Appeal. This is Appellant’s first
request for an extension of time in which to file his brief.
Prayer
WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays this
Honorable Court to grant his “Motion for Extension of Time to File
Brief on Appeal,” and Order that the deadline for filing such be
extended an additional forty-five (45) days, until June 8, 2015, or
until such time as set by this Court.
Respectfully submitted,
