   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

   have not completed it due to other matters with more pressing deadlines.

2. The State seeks an additional 30 days from May 11, until Wednesday, June 10,
   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.
