VS.                                    §         THIRD   DISTRICT       Clerk

THE STATE OF TEXAS,
             Appellee                  §         A U S T I N , TEXAS

               FIRST MOTION FOR E X T E N S I O N OF TIME
                      T O F I L E APPELLEE'S BRIEF

      This motion is presented by the State of Texas, by and through the

undersigned Assistant District Attorney, and in support would show:

                                           I.

      The brief for the State of Texas, Appellee, is due on September 18, 2015.

                                           11.

      The undersigned is solely responsible for all appellate and post-conviction

matters in felony cases on behalf of the State of Texas for the 33'"'^ and the 424*^^

Judicial Districts which covers Burnet County, Llano County, Blanco County, and

San Saba County. The undersigned is also solely responsible for all asset seizure

                                      Page 1 of 4
and forfeiture matters within these four counties, including investigating and

preparing Notice o f Seizure and Affidavit, preparing and responding to discovery,

summary judgment procedures, and trial proceedings.                  Additionally the

undersigned is responsible for responding to all Public Information Act requests and

for providing assistance and backup to the trial attorneys during trial preparation and

during non-trial settings before the bench when needed.         The undersigned has

been heavily occupied in preparing the State's brief for No. 03-14-00734-CR styled

Bruce Wayne Harkey vs. The State of Texas, a non-death capital murder case

involving highly detailed and complex issues. The State's brief in the Harkey case

is due on October 16, 2015.

                                          III.

      In this case Appellant raises two issues which are somewhat complex and will

require substantial research. While the undersigned has yet been unable to review

the trial record and the cases cited by Appellant in order to begin preparing the

State's brief. Considering all of the existing deadlines, the undersigned will need

an additional 60 days to prepare and file the Appellee's Brief in this case. This is the

first motion for extension of time that the State of Texas has sought in this case.
