MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
COMES NOW, CARLOS FAZ, Appellant, and files this Motion for
Extension of Time to File Appellant's Brief, pursuant to Rules 10.5(b) and
38.6(d), Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. In support of this Motion,
Appellant would show the following:
I.
Appellant’s brief is due to be filed on November 2, 2015. Counsel for
Appellant requires an extension of time to complete and file Appellant’s brief in
this cause. This is Appellant’s fourth request for extension of time, but second
extension of time since the appellate record was filed in its entirety.
II.
Counsel for Appellant has worked diligently on the brief since receiving
the record, but has been unable to complete it for the following reasons:
1. Counsel for Appellant appeared for numerous, previously set,
pretrial and trial settings in the county and district criminal courts of Bexar
County, Texas.
2. Counsel for Appellant was also involved in assisting with the
research and preparation of several appellate and post-conviction matters
pending in Harris County, Texas.
III.
This request is not made for the purpose of delay, but rather this request is
made to allow counsel adequate time to finish Appellant’s brief. Appellant moves
this Court for an order granting an extension of seven (7) days, or until
November 9, 2015, for Appellant to submit the brief in this case.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant moves this Court
for an order granting an extension of seven (7) days for Appellant to submit
the brief in this case.
Respectfully submitted,
