This case is on appeal from the 391ST Judicial District Court of TOM GREEN County, Texas. 3. The case below was styled the STATE OF TEXAS vs. NATHANIEL J. FRAZIER, JR. AKA NATHANIEL J. FRAZIER, and numbered D-13-0958-SA. 4. Appellant was convicted of Assault family/house member impede breath/circulation, enhanced to a second degree felony. 5. Appellant was assessed a sentence of Eighteen (18) years confinement in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on July 15, 2014. 6. Notice of appeal was given on October 14, 2014. 7. The clerk's record was filed on November 21, 2014; the reporter's record was filed on November 5, 2014. Counsel for the Appellant initially requested the entire clerk’s record. On January 12, 2015, this Honorable Court sent a letter to the clerk notifying them that the supplemental clerk’s record was late. The original clerk’s record that was filed with this Honorable Court was missing numerous motions, pretrial hearing documents, as well as trial documents, such as the jury charge. Counsel for Appellant again requested the entire clerk’s record, specifically marking items that were not included. The supplemental clerk’s record was filed March 17, 2015. 8. The appellant’s brief is presently due on April 22, 2015. 9. Appellant requests an extension of time of 15 days from the present due date, i.e. May 7, 2015. 10. This will be the third extension to file the brief under this cause. 11. Defendant is currently incarcerated. 12. Appellant relies on the following facts as good cause for the requested extension: An immediate family member of the undersigned was recently hospitalized. The hospitalization and after-care resulted in the undersigned being unable to complete the brief of the Appellant. The undersigned submits that a short of extension of time would allow him finalize, review and edit Appellant’s brief. WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this Court grant this Third Motion To Extend Time to File Appellant's Brief, and for such other and further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.
