TO THE HONORABLEJUDGE OF SAID COURT:
                              '·                        .....    .

and numbered cause and files this Motion Requesting Prosecution to Reveal
Agreement with Witnesses, in the nature of concessions by the State of Texas to
the witness which could influence the testimony of the witness, and in support of
said motion would show the Court the following:

                                                        I.

    The witness, A- V\ t_\_lt_     0  ~(\\A L :i~~ooperating conspirator
                                                1'\                      0

in the offense with which the Defendant is charged. The witness will testify on
direct examination as a key prosecution witness and his testimony seeks to
implicate inculpate Defendant as having engaged in the criminal conduct alleged
herein.

                                                        II.
--·   ·-·   --- .         .
If the prosecution has made either promises or implied that it will make
concessions to the witness in. order to induce his testimony, the defense has a right
to know the nature of the concession made, promised or implied to the witness or
his representatives in order to prove that the witness' testimony was biased by
such decisions. Without such disclosure, defense counsel can only speculate that
the concessions probably involve doubtful proof on the issue of credibility. To
deny disclosure of information which could influence the witness testimony
violates Defendant's rightto due process oflaw.
    WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendant prays the C~:mrt issue
