        STATE’S THIRD 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) &

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.     Appellee was charged with the felony offense of online

          impersonation.

   2.     She filed a pre-trial writ of habeas corpus, challenging the

          constitutionality of the statute.     The trial court granted her
         motion, dismissing the indictment. The State timely filed its

         notice of appeal.

   3.    The State’s brief was due, after two extensions, on October 9, 2015.

         The State requests an additional extension of 30 days, until

         November 9, 2015.

   4.    The undersigned attorney has filed four briefs in the last 45 days

         and has three more briefs due in the next 30 days.                 The

         undersigned attorney recently spoke at TDCAA’s Annual

         Conference on Scotus and CCA Caselaw Update and wrote an

         article for The Prosecutor.

   5.    The undersigned attorney has begun work on this brief and

         anticipates having it filed by the requested extension deadline.

   6.    The State’s motion is not for purposes of delay, but so that justice

         may be done.

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

extension until November 9, 2015.

                                       Respectfully submitted,

                                       /s/Jessica Akins
