TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS OF TEXAS:

       COMES NOW THE STATE OF TEXAS, in accordance with Rules 10.5(b)(1) and

38.6(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and files this motion for extension of

time in which to file the State’s brief in this case, and, in support thereof, presents the

following:
        1. On November 10, 2014, in cause number 1446229, in the 208th District Court of

Harris County, Texas, the trial court granted the appellee’s motion to quash the information

and dismiss the prosecution in The State of Texas v. Jimmy Earl Drummond.

        2. The State timely filed a written notice of appeal on November 18, 2014.

        3. The State’s brief is due on January 7, 2015.

        4. An extension of time in which to file the State’s brief is requested until January 30,

2015.

        5. No previous extensions have been granted to the State.

        6. The facts relied upon to explain the need for this extension are:

        During this time period, the undersigned attorney is set to testify at a very
        lengthy hearing on the defendant’s application for a post-conviction writ of
        habeas corpus in Ex parte David Mark Temple. The undersigned attorney is also
        preparing the State’s brief in Marcos M. Flores v. The State of Texas, Cause Number
        14-14-00663-CR. With his numerous additional duties as Chief of the Appellate
        Division, the undersigned assistant district attorney has needed some additional
        time in order to respond to the appellant’s brief in this case.

        WHEREFORE, the State prays that this Court will grant an extension of time until

January 30, 2015 in which to file the State’s brief in this case.

                                                             Respectfully submitted,
