THE STATE OF TEXAS                         §                              APPELLEE

           APPEAL FROM THE 427TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

                            TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS

                           CAUSE NO. D1-DC-10-206948

            STATE'S FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      The State of Texas respectfully moves for an extension of the deadline for filing

the State’s brief and, in accordance with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 38.6 and

10.5(b), advises the Court as follows:

      (a) Appellant was placed on deferred adjudication probation for Possession of a

Controlled Substance. On October 10, 2014, the trial court revoked the appellant’s

                                           1
probation. The appellant filed his notice of appeal in the above cause on October 23,

2014. Appellant’s counsel filed a brief on July 6, 2015.

      (b)      The State’s brief is currently due on August 5, 2015.

      (c)      This request is that the deadline for filing the State’s brief be extended by

30 days.

      (d)      The number of previous extensions of time granted for submission of the

State’s brief is: none.

      (e)      The State relies upon the following facts to reasonably explain the need for

an extension of the deadline:

      1. During the period since this brief was filed, the attorney assigned to this case

            has been working on other pressing appellate matters and has not had sufficient

            time to prepare an adequate response to this brief.

      2. This request is not made for the purpose of delay, but to ensure that the Court

            has a proper State’s brief to aid in the just disposition of the above cause.

                                              2
      WHEREFORE, the State of Texas respectfully requests that the deadline for filing

the State’s brief be extended to September 4, 2015.

                                             Respectfully submitted,

                                             ROSEMARY LEHMBERG
