                                                         OF TEXAS AT AMARILLO

                     STATE’S MOTION TO EXTEND THE TIME
                        FOR FILING THE STATE’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

         The State of Texas respectfully requests that the time for filing its brief in this

cause be extended. In support of this motion the State would show the Court the

following:

         Appellant pleaded guilty and was placed on probation for engaging in

organized criminal activity; this appeal is from his probation revocation, after which

he was assessed a sentence of confinement for eight years in TDCJ. Appellant is

currently incarcerated. Appellant filed his brief on July 7, 2015, and the State’s brief

was due August 10, 2015. The State requests an extension of time to file its brief until

September 10, 2015.

         Counsel has good cause for the delay in filing this brief. The Cooke County

D.A.’s Office had requested the undersigned to prepare and file the brief and

represent the State of Texas in this appeal as a special prosecutor, because that office

does not have an appellate attorney. Undersigned counsel is unable to timely

complete the brief due to a final illness and death in counsel’s household, and the

District Attorney has therefore agreed to reassign the brief to another local attorney

as special prosecutor. No previous extension has been requested by the State in this

matter.

         WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State respectfully requests

that the time for filing the State’s brief be extended until September 10, 2015.

Respectfully submitted,
