Trial Court Cause Number 15-09-09857-CR (Count 4)
APPELLANT'S THIRD (3RD) MOTION FOR EXTENTION
OF TIME TO FILE THE APPELLANTS BRIEF
COMES NOW RONALD EVAN COOPER, the Appellant herein, by and through
his Appellate Lawyer WILLIS EVERETT SMITH, ESQ. of Porter, Texas and files this
his Third Motion For Extension Of Time To File his Appellate brief which is due on
December 13th, 2017. Appellant's Attorney needs additional time to complete the final
research on this case which involves the deaths of four (4) people and the assault of two.
Appellant's Attorney has been involved in a number of contested trials that have caused a
delay in his researching these issues effectively. The continued amount of hearings and
trials have now sub-sides so counsel will have more time to devote to the research and
drafting of this appeal.

interest of justice and equity. Moreover, the Appellant asks that this Court GRANT him
