To the Honorable Court of Appeals:

      The State of Texas, pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 2 & 10.5, moves for an

extension of time in which to file its appellate brief. The following facts are

relevant:

      1. The appellant was indicted for murder. (CR 8). The appellant pleaded

            not guilty, but a jury found her guilty as charged. (CR 329, 340). The
   jury assessed punishment at fifty years’ confinement. (CR 339, 340).

   The trial court certified the appellant’s right of appeal, and the

   appellant filed a timely notice of appeal. (CR 313, 343).

2. The State’s brief is due on December 4, 2015. The State requests a

   30-day extension of time in which to file its brief.

3. This is the State’s second request for extension.

4. The following facts are relied upon to show good cause for an

   extension of time to allow the State to file its brief:

      a. Since this Court granted the State’s first motion for extension
         on November 4, 2015, the undersigned attorney has worked on
         the following matters:
