THE STATE OF TEXAS,                    §
    APPELLEE                           §

     STATE'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE A POST-SUBMISSION
                         SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

     COMES NOW, the State of Texas, pursuant to Texas Rule of

Appellate Procedure 70.4, and files this motion for leave to file a

post-submission supplemental brief.         In support of its motion, the State

would show the Court the following:

     Both parties have filed their briefs and this cause was submitted on

August 5, 2015.

                                      II.

     The State requests leave to file a supplemental brief in order to apprise
the Court of recent changes by the Texas Legislature to the statutory

language for criminally prosecuting sexually violent predators for violating

their   civil   commitment   requirements   which   impact    the   appellant's

convictions.    See 2015 Tex. Sess. Law Serv. Ch. 845 (S.B. 746) §13 (to be

codified at Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 841.082(a)) & 2015 Tex. Sess.

Law Serv. Ch, 845 (S.B. 746) §19 (to be codified at Tex. Health & Safety

Code Ann. §841.085(a)).

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State prays that the

Court grant this motion for leave to file the State's post-submission

supplemental brief and that the Court file the State's post-submission

supplemental brief.

                                    Respectfully submitted,
