STATE'S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO COMPLY WITH FEBRUARY 25, 

2015 ORDER OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS, STATE OF TEXAS 

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS: 

The State of Texas, by and through the Criminal District Attorney for Jasper County, Texas, 

respectfully presents its Motion for Extension of time to comply with this Court's February 2S, 20 IS 

Order. The State of Texas respectfully shows as follows: 

I. 

On February 2S, 20 IS this Court issued an Order directing the Trial Court to order Applicant's 

trial counsel to respond to App licant's ineffective assistance of counsel claim. This Court further ordered 

the Trial Court to make findings of fact and conclusions of law as to whether trial counsel's conduct was 

deficient, and, if so, whether Applicant was prejudiced. This Court further provided that the Application 

would be held in abeyance until the trial court resolved the fact issues, which was to be done within 90 

days of February 2S, 2015. A supplemental transcript was to be provided to this Court within 120 days 

ofFebruary 25, 201S . 

II. 

Because of an unusually busy court calendar and multiple murder trials, the Order to trial counsel 

to respond to App licant's ineffective assistance of counsel claim was not timely prepared and provided to 

the Trial Court for signature. The Order has now been prepared and provided to the trial court for 

signature and for service on Applicant's trial counsel. 

Ill. 

The request for extension of time is not made for the purpose of delay, but so that justice may be 

served and for the purpose of proper compliance with this Court's order. 

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State of Texas prays that this Motion be 

granted. The State of Texas prays for any rei ief to which it may be entitled. 

Respectfully Submitted,
