                      FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS

                        AT SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS

                      EX PARTE JUAN JOSE GARCIA

                              Cause No. 8,044
               Appealed from the 49th Judicial District Court of
                           Zapata County, Texas

           APPELLANT’S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF

        Appellant, the Texas Department of Public Safety, asks the Court to

extend the time to file its brief. As good cause for filing this motion, the

Department respectfully shows:

   1.      No rule provides a deadline to file a Motion to Extend Time. See

           TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(d).
2.   This Court has the authority under TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(d) to

     extend the time to file a brief.

3.   This is an appeal of an Order Granting Expunction entered on

     September 29, 2014.

4.   The Department’s brief is due to be filed on August 10, 2015.

5.   The Department now seeks a 30-day extension, which would make

     its brief due on September 10, 2015.

6.   This is the second request for an extension. The first request

     extended the deadline from July 10, 2015 to August 10, 2015.

7.   This extension of time is necessary because the Department did not

     receive an affidavit acknowledging the lack of reporter’s record

     until July 31, 2015. The undersigned attorney also has been

     working on the following pending cases: Ex parte C.P.J. II (07-15-

     00278-CV); Ex parte Vega (13-15-00245-CV); and, J.W.D. v.

     Texas Department of Public Safety (15-0091).

8.   An extension of time for filing the Department’s brief will not

     delay submission of this cause in its prescribed order, and no harm

     will result to Appellee, Juan Jose Garcia, as a result of an extension

     of time for filing because the case has not yet been set for

     submission.

                                   2
      For these reasons, the Department asks this Court to grant an

extension of time to file its brief until September 10, 2015.

                                        Respectfully submitted,
