On December 8, 2014, Appellant entered a plea pursuant to a plea bargain with the prosecutor and approved by the Court, and the punishment assessed was twenty years (20) in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. The trial court’s certificate of Appellant’s Right to Appeal granted Appellant’s appeal of the denial of the Motion to Suppress.

As of May 11, 2015, the court reporter has not completed the record in this cause. Appellant’s attorney would respectfully request an extension of time to file Appellant’s brief to allow the court reporter time to complete her record.
