Appellee                                  §      DISTRICT COURT NO. CR 36868

STATE’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF

      COMES NOW, the State of Texas, by and through its undersigned attorney, and

respectfully requests that the Court grant an Extension of Time for Filing the State’s

Brief in the above reference cause.

      Pursuant to Rules 38.6 and 10.5(b), Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the

Petitioner would show in support of this Motion that:

      1.     The current deadline for filing Appellee’s Brief was August 21, 2015.

      2.     The length of time requested for an extension is an additional 3 days until
             August 24, 2015;

      3.     The reasons for the need for an extension are that:
                    1)       Attorney for the State believed that he had until the 23rd to
                         file the brief. The brief is ready and will be filed if the motion
                         is granted.

      4.     The State has not previously been granted any extensions.

                                                 Respectfully submitted,

                                                 /s/ Joseph P. Johnson
