APPELLANT’S MOTION
TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
Appellant, Vincent Edward Broussard, moves for an extension of time to file his
appellate brief, under T EX . R. A PP . P. 10.5(b).
I. TRIAL COURT PROCEEDINGS
On June 4, 2015, a judge sentenced Mr. Broussard to 45 years and 45 years in
the Institutional Division, TDCJ, after guilty pleas to two charges of aggravated
robbery-deadly weapon. Defendant filed notice of appeal on June 4, 2015.
II. PROCEEDINGS IN THIS COURT
The Appellant’s brief was due October 12, 2015. One previous extension has
been requested.
III.
Since the record was completed, counsel has filed a brief in Eric Samuel Tucker
v. State, Cause No. 01-15-00274-CR, and has been working to complete a brief in Mayer
v. State, Cause No. 14-14-01011-CR, which is subject to abatement. Counsel also has
researched and prepared a response to the state’s motion for the juvenile court to waive
jurisdiction after a reversal and remand on appeal in Guerrero v. State, Cause No. 14-
13-00101-CR, for a hearing that ultimately was reset. Counsel also has five other briefs
and one petition for discretionary review this month
IV.
In the exercise of due diligence, counsel was unable to complete the brief by the
deadline, and needs an additional 30 days to file it. This motion is not filed for purposes
of delay, but so that justice may be done.
PRAYER
Appellant respectfully requests that this motion be granted and that the Court
permit an extension of time until November 12, 2015 to file Appellant’s brief.
Respectfully submitted,
ALEXANDER BUNIN
Chief Public Defender
Harris County Texas
