The undersigned attorney has begun work on this case but has been
unable to complete the brief due to necessary work needed to be completed
on several other appeal cases and due to her busy schedule in both the
district and county courts of Travis, Williamson and Hays Counties. Today
she completed and filed briefs in the cases of Troy Luther Williams v. State
of Texas, Cause Nos. 03-14-00228-CR and 03-14-00229-CR. In addition
she is in the process of preparing petitions for discretionary review in the
cases of Rodolfo Cisneros v. State of Texas, Cause Nos. 03-13-00206-CR,
03-13-00207-CR, 03-13-00208-CR, 03-13-00209-CR, all of which are due
next week. She asks that this extension be granted so that she may
effectively represent Appellant and so that justice may be done in this case.
Respectfully Submitted
