THE STATE OF TEXAS,                     §              AUSTIN, TEXAS
                Appellee                §

                     MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                       TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF

      This motion is presented by the State of Texas, by and through the

undersigned Assistant District Attorney, and in support would show:

                                            I.

      The Appellant’s brief was filed on July 28, 2015. The brief for the State of

Texas, Appellee, is due on August 27, 2015.

                                            II.

      The undersigned serves as an Assistant District Attorney in the 33 rd and 424th

District Attorney’s office in Burnet, Texas.         In the time since the Appellant

submitted her brief, the undersigned has been required to take on additional day-to-

day responsibilities as a result of the departure of another Assistant District Attorney

from the 33rd and 424th District Attorney’s office, leaving only the undersigned and

one other Assistant District Attorney to manage the general felony criminal docket

                                       Page 1 of 3
for Burnet County. As a result, in the last month the undersigned has been required

to prepare three cases for trial (on August 3rd, August 11th, and August 17th) and

managed nine criminal docket settings and one Grand Jury setting.                These

circumstances have not afforded the time to perform the research necessary to

adequately address the points raised by the Appellant in his brief.

                                          III.

      In this case Appellant raises four issues which will require extensive research

and a thorough familiarity with the trial record to adequately address.            The

undersigned will need an additional 60 days to prepare and file the Appellee’s Brief

in this case. This is the first motion for extension of time that the State of Texas has

sought in this case.

                                      PRAYER

      The State of Texas, in consideration of the facts and circumstances set forth

herein above, prays the Court grant this motion and extend the due date for the

Appellee’s Brief to October 26, 2015.
