Hoyt

, files this Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief.

Appellant’s initial brief is currently due on August 1 4 , 2015.

indicated to undersigned counsel that the State of Texas is unopposed to this

motion.

All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the

counsel signing this motion, and therefore no verification is necessary under Texas
