                        THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

__________________________________________________________________
   On Appeal from the Court of Appeals, Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                 Court of Appeals No. 05-12-01421-CR
__________________________________________________________________

               APPELLANT'S UNOPPOSED FIRST MOTION
             TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF

      Appellant Stacy Stine Cary respectfully moves for an extension of time to

file her Appellant’s Brief by thirty (30) days. In support of this motion, she would

respectfully show as follows:

      1.     The deadline for filing the Appellant’s Brief is April 24, 2015.

      2.     Appellant seeks a thirty-day extension.

      3.     An extension is necessary because of appellate counsel’s schedule

since the time the PDR was granted, the complexity of the facts and issues, and the

fact that the Fifth Court of Appeals has now issued an opinion in the related case of

David Cary v. State of Texas, No. 05-13-01010-CR, in which the Court of Appeals

reversed the appellant’s conviction, and this opinion should be addressed in the

initial brief. APPELLEE, THE STATE OF TEXAS, DOES NOT OPPOSE

THIS REQUESTED EXTENSION.

      4.     No previous extension has been sought or granted.

                                        Respectfully submitted,
