KYLE An Appeal following a trial from Clerk The 403th District Court, Travis County, Texas No. D-1-DC-14-904017 Styled the State of Texas vs. Lee Andrew Green, Jr. REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF To The Honorable Clerk of Said Court: Now comes Lee Andrew Green, Appellant in the above styled cause, and makes this his Request for Extension of Time to File Brief, and for good cause would show: I. Counsel for Appellant received notice of filing the reporter’s record from this Court on October 15, 2015, stating that the Reporter’s Record was filed in this Court on October 12, 2015. Under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6 (and considering the state holiday on November 11, 2015), the deadline to file Appellant’s Brief is today, Nov. 12, 2015. II. The record on appeal is 10 volumes. There are also hundreds of photographs and exhibits. The predominant legal issues in the case appear to involve matters of deficiencies in the Court’s charge to the jury in a relatively new statutory regime. Due to the press of business, Counsel for Appellant has been unable to complete the review of the records and legal research required to effectively communicate and argue the anticipated points of error in the Brief III. This is the first request for extension of time filed with the Court in this cause. Counsel for Appellant requests that the Court grant an extension of time to file Appellant’s Brief until December 11, 2015.
