TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS OF TEXAS:

      COMES NOW THE STATE OF TEXAS, in accordance with Rules 10.5(b)(1)

and 38.6(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and files this motion for

extension of time in which to file the State’s brief in these cases, and, in support

thereof, presents the following:

      1. In the 248th district court of Harris County, Texas, cause 1364909, the State of

          Texas v. Earnest Hebert, appellant, was convicted of possession of a

          controlled substance.
       2. He was assessed punishment of confinement for 5 years in the Institutional

       Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

       3. The State’s brief is due on February 2, 2015.

       4. An extension of time in which to file the State’s brief is requested until

       March 9, 2015.

       5. No previous extensions have been requested by the State.

       6. The facts relied upon to explain the need for this extension are:

        Since appellant filed his brief, I have filed briefs in cause numbers 01-14-
00332-CR, 14-14-00451-CR, and 14-14-00704-CR. I will file a brief in cause
number 14-13-00767-CR in the next week. In addition to the present case, I
presently have 5 other briefs assigned to me. I also handle legal questions from
trial court prosecutors on a daily basis, some of which require attendance at
court hearings. This motion is not sought for delay, but so that justice may be
done.

       WHEREFORE, the State prays that this Court will grant an extension of time

until March 9, 2015 in which to file the State’s brief in this case.

                                                        Respectfully submitted,
