                STATE’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                WITHIN WHICH TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF

                               

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      THE STATE OF TEXAS, pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1, 10.5(b) and

38.6(d), moves for an extension of time within which to file its appellate brief. In

support of its motion, the State submits the following:
1.   Appellant was convicted for the offense of aggravated sexual assault
     of a child and sentenced to 14-years confinement.

2.   Appellant filed written notice of appeal on February 13, 2015.

3.   Appellant filed his brief on September 3, 2015.

4.   The State’s reply brief is due on October 5, 2015.

5.   The State seeks an extension until November 20, 2015, to file its
     brief.

6.   This is the State’s first request for an extension in this case.

7.   The following facts are relied upon to show good cause for the
     requested extension:

     My completion of this brief has been delayed by my
     work on two other appellate briefs this past month, as
     well as by my recent preparation for and presentation of
     an oral argument. I also have four other briefs due in the
     coming month.

                                   2
      WHEREFORE, the State prays that this Court will grant the requested

extension.

                                             Respectfully submitted,

                                             /s/ Dan McCrory
