TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

      The State Prosecuting Attorney respectfully presents her motion for leave to

file a Post-Submission Brief as Amicus Curiae under Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 71.4. The State believes that re-examination of this Court's cases on the

standard for review of unpreserved charge error will assist the Court in resolving

Appellee's issues presented.

                               PRAYER FOR RELIEF

      WHEREFORE, the State of Texas prays that the Court of Criminal Appeals

grant it leave to file its Post-Submission Brief as Amicus Curiae.

                                        Respectfully submitted,

                                          /s/ John R. Messinger
