                                           Appellee
               On Appeal from the 198th District Court of Bandera County

                  Motion for Extension of Time
                  To File State’s Brief on Appeal

TO THE HONORABLE FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS:
      COMES NOW, the State of Texas, Appellee in the above styled and numbered cause,
by and through her duly elected District Attorney, and respectfully enters this “Motion for
Extension of Time to File State's Brief on Appeal,” and in support of such Motion would
show the Court:
                                               I
      Appellant was convicted in the 198th District Court of Bandera County, Texas, of the
offense of Arson. Punishment was assessed at confinement for 50 years. The trial court
imposed sentence on September 25, 2014, and notice of appeal was timely filed with the
clerk of the trial court. The deadline for filing the State's Brief with the Court is May 20,
2015. This request for an extension is based upon the inability of the undersigned attorney
to finish research on the issues raised by the trial of the case.
                                                II
      Counsel for the State would further show that he will require an additional forty-five
(45) days in which to complete the research and prepare the State's Brief. This is the State's
first request for an extension of time in which to file its brief.

                                            Prayer
      WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, the undersigned prays this Honorable
Court to grant the State's motion for extension of time in which to file its brief, and Order
that the deadline for filing such be extended an additional forty-five (45) days, until July 6,
or until such time as set by this Court.
                                           Respectfully submitted,

                                                /s/ Scott F. Monroe
