STATE OF TEXAS § APPELLEE
APPEAL FROM THE 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS
CAUSE NO. D-1-DC-08-205656
STATE'S FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
The State of Texas respectfully moves for an extension of the deadline for filing
the State’s brief and, in accordance with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 38.6 and
10.5(b), advises the Court as follows:
(a) Following his conviction for Possession of a Controlled Substance
Methamphetamine, the appellant filed his notice of appeal in the above cause on
1
January 8, 2016. Appellant’s counsel filed a brief that was marked filed on August 5,
2016.
(b) The State’s brief is currently due on September 6, 2016.
(c) This request is that the deadline for filing the State’s brief be extended by
30 days.
(d) The number of previous extensions of time granted for submission of the
State’s brief is: none.
(e) The State relies upon the following facts to reasonably explain the need
for an extension of the deadline:
1. During the period since this brief was filed, the attorney assigned to this case
has been working on other pressing appellate matters and has not had
sufficient time to prepare an adequate response to this brief.
2. This request is not made for the purpose of delay, but to ensure that the Court
has a proper State’s brief to aid in the just disposition of the above cause.
2
WHEREFORE, the State of Texas respectfully requests that the deadline for
filing the State’s brief be extended to October 6, 2016.
Respectfully submitted,
ROSEMARY LEHMBERG
District Attorney
Travis County, Texas
