APPEAL IN CAUSE NO. 1172613
IN THE 185TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
OF HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS
MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
THE REPORTER’S RECORD
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:
NOW COMES, WILLIE FELDER, Appellant in the above entitled and
numbered cause, by and through his attorney of record, Stanley G. Schneider, and
submits this Motion for Extension of Time to file the Reporter’s Record in this cause
and would show the Court the following:
1. Appellant was charged by indictment with engaging in organized
criminal activity. Appellant was placed on deferred adjudication probation for a
period of eight years. Appellant’s probation was revoked after a motion to adjudicate
hearing. The trial court assessed Appellant’s punishment to five years in the
institutional division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Notice of Appeal
1
was given in a timely fashion.
2. Appellant’s appeal bond was made when shortly after the notice of
appeal was filed.
3. On April 28, 2015, Ms. Logan, the court reporter informed undersigned
counsel that the cost of the record would be approximately $1,750. Ms. Logan was
informed that arrangements would be made immediately for her to be paid in full.
4. Appellant’s health began to decline during the proceeding in the trial
court. Appellant is currently in the ICU unit at Cy Fair Hospital after suffering a
heart attack and/or stroke. Appellant’s prognosis has not improved since being
admitted to the hospital on May 5, 2015.
5. Appellant has been working diligently to make arrangements to pay for
the record. Because of the decline in his health, his efforts were hindered. Appellant
requests that the Court allow him and additional 60 days pay Ms. Logan.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that the Court
extend the time for making arrangements with the Court Reporter and pay her for the
record in this cause.
