        Now comes The State of Texas, Appellee in the above styled and numbered cause, and

moves this Court to grant an extension of time to file Appellee’s brief, pursuant to Rule 38.6 of the

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and for good cause shows the following:

        1.      This case is on appeal from the 8th Judicial District Court of Hopkins County, Texas.

        2.      The case below was styled the STATE OF TEXAS vs. TONY DEWAYNE

CRAYTON and numbered as 1323670.

        3.      The Appellant was convicted and sentenced by the judge to 50 years in the

penitentiary after a trial before the court.

        4.      The Appellee’s brief was due on August 12, 2015. Appellee requests an extension

time of approximately thirty (30) days from the present date, i.e. August 13, 2015.

        6.      No previous extensions to file the brief have been received by Appellee in this cause.

        7.      Appellee requests a thirty (30) day extension due to the following:

                i. Appellee’s attorney was out of state from July 29, 2015 through August 2, 2015;

                ii. On August 3, 2015, Appellee’s attorney picked a jury in Hopkins County in State

                v. Chase Craig Hudson, Cause Number 1424247. Testimony began on August 10th

                and lasted through August 12th. The jury found the defendant guilty and sentenced

                him to 20 years in the penitentiary;
               iii. Appellee’s attorney is currently preparing to try State of Texas v. Franklin Coy

               Kuhl, Jr., Cause Number 1423952. The jury will be selected on August 31, 2015.

               Testimony will commence on September 8, 2015.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellee prays that this Court grant this

Motion to Extend Time to File Appellee’s Brief, and for such other and further relief as the Court

may deem appropriate.
