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 351st district court of Harris County, Texas, cause numbers 1387546

          & 1387547, the State of Texas v. William Monterial Jones, appellant, was

          convicted of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and felon in

          possession of a weapon.
       2. He was assessed punishment of confinement for 40 years in the Institutional

       Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

       3. The State’s brief was due on August 28, 2015.

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

       September 4, 2015.

       5. Two previous extension has been requested by the State.

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

      Since my last motion for extension, I have filed motions in cause
number 01-14-0444-CR and 14-14-00831-CR. I prepared for and participated
in a contempt hearing against Sondra Humphrey, the former official court
reporter for County Court at Law No. 8 of Harris County, Texas. Additionally,
I answer trial court questions from other prosecutors on a daily basis. 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 September 4, 2015 in which to file the State’s brief in this case.

                                                        Respectfully submitted,
