                  STATE'S FIRST MOTION TO EXTEND TIME
                        FOR FILING STATE’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

   THE STATE OF TEXAS, by and through the undersigned Assistant District
Attorney, respectfully moves the Court to extend the time for filing of the
Appellee’s Brief in accordance with Rule 10.5 of the Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure. In support of its motion, the State respectfully offers the following:

1. The Appellee’s brief is due today, April 10, 2015, and I have not completed it
   due to other matters with more pressing deadlines.

2. The State seeks an additional 31 days, until Monday, May 11, 2015. The
   undersigned will, nonetheless, attempt to complete and file the State’s brief
   prior to the extended deadline.

3. The undersigned attorney is responsible for all post-conviction prosecution for
   the Gregg County Criminal District Attorney’s Office, including direct appeals
   and applications for habeas corpus, bond forfeitures and traffic citation appeals.

      In the past 30 days the undersigned attorney has worked on the following:
