Dear Honorable Judges, I am respectfully requesting an extension of two (2) weeks, until 5 p.m. on Monday, October 5, 2015, for the production of the record of the hearing in the Writ of Habeas Corpus on the above-named defendant.
This Court ordered that this trial court conduct a hearing on the Writ of Habeas Corpus filed by the defendant, complete Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law, and produce the documents and record from the Court Reporter by a certain date. On June 16, 2015, this Court granted the Applicant's request for additional time for the trial court to file the supplemental record and the Court ordered that it be filed no later than September 21, 2015.
The hearing comprised more than eleven (11) hours of evidence, and was conducted on these dates and times:
Wednesday, May 27, 2015-10:40 am-12:30 pm, 1:30 pm-4:40 pm; Tuesday, August 18, 2015- phone conference, 4:30 pm-5:15 pm (Applicant's attorneys are in San Antonio and not able to be present except by phone);

This court will be "quiet" for several days next week as I attend the annual Judicial Conference in Dallas.

Thank you for your consideration of this request!
