THE STATE OF TEXAS                      §        AUSTIN, TEXAS

               APPELLANT’S MOTION TO TRANSFER
             ORIGINAL EXHIBITS TO COURT OF APPEALS

  Appellant Daniel Wilson asks this Court to direct the trial-court clerk to
transfer original exhibits to the court of appeals and file them in this appeal.

                              A. INTRODUCTION

     1. Appellant is Daniel Lorenzo Wilson; appellee is the State of Texas.

   2. This cause is docketed in the Austin Court of Appeals under the
 above cause number.

   3. Counsel for Appellant attempted to confer with the State’s attorney
 via email but has not received a response regarding the State’s position
 on this matter.

                     B. ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES

   4. This Court may direct the trial-court clerk to transfer original exhibits
 to the court of appeals and file them in this appeal. TEX. R. APP. P.
 34.6(g)(2).

   5. The original exhibits should be transferred to this Court because the
 sole issue presented on appeal requires the Court to examine
 photographs offered in evidence and determine whether their probative
 value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice. The
 Court cannot effectively consider the issue presented without examining
 the original exhibits.

   6. Appellant asks this Court to direct the transfer of all the original
 exhibits (or at least State’s Exhibits 3-38, which are all photographs) so the
 Court can fully consider and address the sole issue on appeal.

                                  C. PRAYER

   7. For these reasons, Appellant Daniel Lorenzo Wilson asks the Court to
 grant this motion and order the trial-court clerk to transfer the original
 exhibits to the court of appeals.
