FIRST MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING APPELLANT'S BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS JUDGES:
COMES NOW, Louanne Larson, appellant, pro se, and
respectfully moves the Court to extend the time for filing
AppellantTs Brief, and, in accordance with T.R.A.P. 73, submits
the following:
1. Trial Court Case Number: 10,846
2. Style of Case: State of Texas VS. Louanne Larson
3. Trial Court: 115th District Court of Marion County,
Texas
4. Offense: Capital Murder
5. Punishment Assessed: Life confinement in TDCJ to serve
35 calendar years before parole eligibility
B. Length of Extension Sought: 14 Days
7. Facts Relied Upon to Reasonably Explain the Need for an
Extension: On December 14, 2015 response was received From the
Court of Appeals District Clerk stating that the Trial Court 's
Reporter's Record Statements of Facts had not been received at
yourr Honorable Court. The Motion For Forensic Trace Evidence
Search and DNA Testing relies on the statements of facts
volumes and page numbers therein to verify and prove the truth
and accuracy of the matter, without which, the Court cannot
Z?jul^ bfffgf
determine the facts. Secondly, I was informed the appellant's
brief was due on or before December 09, 2015. I did not receive
the letter until December 14, 2015 at the Mountain View Unit
Mailroom, 5 days after the due date. I was not aware that an
appellant's brief was required, as I relied on Texas Code of
Criminal Procedure Article 64 and submitted the Motion and
Accompanying Affidavit that contain the volume and page numbers
to prove facts, state and federal case laws supporting my
argument, exhibits, and documentation supporting the need for
the Motion to granted and the trace evidence search and testing
done. I did not intentionally or neglectfully fail to file the
appellant's brief, I wasn't aware it was required. I beg the
Court to grant the extension, or in the alternative, consider
the Motion and Affidavit as appellant's brief. I throw myself
on the mercy of the Honorable Court.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Movant prays that this
Court will extend the time within which to File Appellant Ts
Brief for 14 days, or whichever time the Court finds reasonable
and acceptable.
Respectfully submitted,
