THE STATE OF TEXAS                        §          APPEALS OF TEXAS Clerk

 STATE’S UNOPPOSED THIRD MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE
                         BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

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

cause, and moves for an extension of time of 14 days to file Appellee’s brief, and

for good cause would show the following:

                                          I.

      Appellant was convicted by a jury of Attempt to Commit Capital Murder,

Aggravated Kidnapping, Aggravated Robbery, and Tampering with Physical

Evidence. Her punishment was assessed by the trial court at 30 years for the

Attempted Capital Murder, Aggravated Kidnapping and Aggravated Robbery

offenses, for which there was a deadly weapon finding. She received 10 years for

the Tampering offense. The sentences were to be served concurrently. Appellant

was also assessed court costs. Appellant’s brief was filed on July 2, 2015. The

State’s brief is currently due on October 2, 2015.

                                          1
                                          II.

      I was the attorney for the State at trial, and I am handling the State’s brief on

appeal. From the 8th to the 15th of September I tried a sexual assault of a child case

in CR2011-575. I had another trial involving the sexual assault of a child from

September 14th to the 23rd. I subsequently joined the rest of my office in Corpus

Christi for a CLE conference on the 24th and 25th of September. Additionally, I

have had to manage my regular docket. I have completed some of the work on the

State’s response. However, because of the foregoing, I have not yet been able to

finish it and respectfully request an extension of 14 days to file the State’s brief in

the instant cause. This is the third extension sought by Appellee. Appellant does

not oppose the instant motion.

                                         III.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State’s counsel

respectfully prays for an extension of 14 days, until October 16, 2015, so that an

adequate response may be made to Appellant’s brief.            This extension is not

requested for purposes of delay but so that justice may be done.

                                        Respectfully submitted,

                                        /s/ Chari L. Kelly
