                              TRIAL COURT CAUSE No. CF1302374 

                      COUNTY COURT AT LAw, NACOGDOCHES COUNTY, TEXAS 

                      MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME FOR FILING 

                                   STATE'S BRIEF 

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

        COMES NOW, THE STATE OF TEXAS, by and through the undersigned Nacogdoches
County Assistant County Attorney, and respectfully request that this Honorable Court
grant an Extension of Time for Filing the State's Brief. The present date for filing the Brief
is Friday, June 19, 2015, and it is respectfully requested that said time be extended to July
24,2015.

       For cause, The State would show unto the Court as follows:

                                              I. 

       The State seeks an extension of time for the following reasons: 

1. The Nacogdoches County Attorney's Office is staffed by four attorneys. Presently, the
   office is burdened with an ever-increasing caseload, which requires the full-time
   attention of all four attorneys.

2. 	 The undersigned Assistant County Attorney has been involved in preparing for
     numerous trials, trial settings, other Court hearings, and appellate work in both
     criminal cases and cases involving Children's Protective Services, which prevented
     counsel from reading the Statement of Facts, reviewing the law as pertaining to those
     facts and preparing the brief.

                                              III.

  This is the first extension requested. The State respectfully requests that it be given an
extension until July 24, 2015, to file its brief.

                                                IV.

    This motion is urged at the first opportunity, as The State will suffer irreparable harm if
it is not granted.

   WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, The State prays that this Honorable Court grant
this Extension of Time in which to file The State's Brief.

                                                      Respectfully submitted,
