                             JAMES BROWN,
                                       Appellant
                                  v.

                         THE STATE OF TEXAS,
                                       Appellee.

SECOND MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING APPELLEE'S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

      The State of Texas, by and through the District Attorney for Travis County,
respectfully moves this Court to extend the time for filing Appellee's brief. In
support of this motion, the State respectfully shows the Court as follows:
      Appellee's brief in this cause is due on Friday, February 27, 2015. Appellee
has requested one prior extension to file Appellee's brief. Appellee respectfully
requests an extension of seven days until March 6, 2015.
      Counsel’s recent trial schedule, including a jury trial February 23 – 24 with an
ensuing sentencing hearing February 27, and other routine courthouse duties have
                                          1
interfered with completion of the brief which is perhaps seventy-five percent
complete. Only a brief time extension is necessary for completion.

                                     PRAYER
      For these reasons, the State requests the Court to grant this motion to extend
the time for filing Appellee's brief until March 6, 2015.
                                       Respectfully submitted,

                                       ROSEMARY LEHMBERG
