THE STATE OF TEXAS                      §       TYLER, TEXAS

                    STATE’S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE
                          SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

     Comes now the State of Texas and presents this motion for leave to file a

supplemental brief in the above-captioned cause pursuant to Rule 38.7 of the

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. The State timely filed a response to

appellant’s original brief on 10 September 2015.     On 22 September 2015,

appellant filed an amended brief raising a second issue not argued in his

original brief. The Court received a supplemental letter brief from the State

on 5 October 2015.      As a brief may be supplemented whenever justice

requires or on whatever reasonable terms the court may prescribe, the State

respectfully requests the Court’s leave to file its supplemental brief and

respond to the newly alleged issue in the appellant’s amended brief. See Tex.

R. App. P. 38.7.
   WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State of Texas prays that

this Court grant the foregoing motion and allow the filing of the State’s

Supplemental Letter Brief in the above-captioned cause1.

                                             Respectfully submitted,
