The undersigned attorney has read the lengthy appellate record in this case. She has begun researching the applicable law and has begun drafting the brief. However she has been unable to complete the brief due to necessary work that needed to be completed on several other appeal cases and due to her busy schedule in both the district and county courts of Travis County and Williamson County. She recently completed and filed a brief in the case of Levardo Cantos v. State of Texas, Cause No. 03-14-00585-CR which was due on July 10, 2015. She also completed and filed a brief in the case of James Palacio v. State of Texas, Cause No. 03-14-00654-CR which was due on July 20, 2015.

She will now devote her full attention to completing the brief in this case and will have it completed by September 17, 2015. She asks that this extension be granted so that she may effectively represent Appellant and so that justice may be done in this case.
