APPELLEE §
STATE’S FIRST MOTION FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE STATE’S BRIEF
COMES NOW, the State of Texas, by and through the Criminal District
Attorney of Collin County, Greg Willis, and tenders, pursuant to Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), this motion for an extension of time to
file the State’s brief. In support of this motion, the State would show the following:
I.
The Court below is the 219th Judicial District Court of Collin County,
Texas. The case is styled The State of Texas v. Roosevelt Hollins, Jr., cause
number 219-83183-2011.
II.
Appellant was convicted of failure to comply with the registration
requirements for a sex offender by failing to timely report his change of address
and sentenced to five years in prison.
III.
The State’s brief was due November 23, 2012. The State has not previously
requested an extension of time. To the best of the undersigned’s knowledge, the
case has not been set for submission.
IV.
The State is requesting this extension so that it might adequately respond to
Appellant’s brief, and it includes its brief with this motion. The extension is not
requested for the purpose of an improper delay.
V.
The State alleges good cause exists for the extension. During the pendency
of the brief in this case the undersigned has been preparing the State’s findings of
fact and conclusions of law in the case Ex parte Ernest Lucky Perez. Also, the
undersigned moved in the month of December and was also out of the office to
celebrate the holidays. Finally, in recent days the undersigned has been ill with the
flu.

VI.
WHEREFORE, premises considered, the State respectfully requests that the
Court grant the State’s motion to extend the time to file its brief for 46 days, until
January 8, 2013.
