THE STATE OF TEXAS                           §         APPEALS OF  Clerk
                                                                       TEXAS

  SECOND MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

      Now comes the State of Texas, Appellee in the above styled and numbered

cause, and moves for an extension of time of 30 days to file Appellee’s brief, and

for good cause would show the following:

                                        I.
      Appellant was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child on January

15, 2014. Appellant’s brief was originally due on June 16, 2014; after filing five

motions for extension, Appellant filed his brief with the Court on December 3,

2014. The State’s First Motion to Extend was granted and the State’s brief is

currently due on March 3, 2015.

                                       II.

      Ms. Chari Kelly is handling this appeal for the State. From February 2nd to

February 10th, Ms. Kelly sat first chair in Cause Number CR2014-090, a case

                                        1
involving charges of Attempted Capital Murder, Aggravated Kidnapping,

Aggravated Sexual Assault, Aggravated Robbery, and Tampering with Physical

Evidence. Immediately after that trial, Ms. Kelly sat with another attorney in Cause

Numbers CR2013-071 and -072, involving multiple charges of Continuous Sexual

Abuse and Indecency with a Child. Following that case, Ms. Kelly handled

CR2011-399 before the district court, a case involving an insanity defense to

charges of Attempted Murder, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Deadly

Conduct, Tampering with Physical Evidence and Criminal Mischief. From

February 23rd to February 27th, Ms. Kelly sat first chair in Cause Number CR2014-

093, involving charges of Attempted Capital Murder, Aggravated Kidnapping,

Aggravated Sexual Assault, Aggravated Robbery and Tampering with Physical

Evidence. Finally, in addition to her other responsibilities, Ms. Kelly is attempting

to complete the State’s brief in Appellate Cause Number 03-14-000669-CR by

March 9, 2015. Ms. Kelly has not yet had an opportunity to complete the State’s

brief in this case, and in light of the foregoing, the State respectfully requests that

the Court grant her a 30-day extension to file the Appellee’s Brief. This is the

second extension sought by Appellee.

                                          2
                                        III.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State’s counsel

respectfully requests an extension of 30 days, until April 2, 2015, so that an

adequate response may be made to Appellant’s brief.         This extension is not

requested for purposes of delay but so that justice may be done.

                                      Respectfully submitted,

                                      /s/ Joshua D. Presley
