In support of this motion, appellant shows the following: I. The appellant was tried for the offense of Evading Arrest, in Brazos County, Texas, under Cause Number 14-02769-CRF-85. At the conclusion of the trial, the jury found the appellant guilty, and he was sentenced to seventy-five years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on May 5, 2015. A timely notice of appeal was filed in this case. The appellant's brief is due October 8, 2015. II. The reason for the extension of the deadline to file the appellant’s brief is based on the following: Appellant's counsel is reviewing the records regarding this appeal and requires more time to fully brief the matters regarding this cause. Appellant's counsel has recently moved from central Texas to the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, which has necessitated many days of travel to resolve what are now out of county cases. Counsel requires some more time to complete a thorough review and briefing of the issues in this case. For these reasons, counsel moves that the deadline for the brief be extended until November 9, 2015. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, /s/ David W. Crawford David W.
