THE STATE OF TEXAS § APPELLEE
APPEAL FROM THE 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS
CAUSE NO. D1-DC-13-904021
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 Securing Execution of a Document by
Deception, the appellant filed his notice of appeal in the above cause on October 24,
2013. Appellant’s counsel filed a brief on November 10, 2014.
1
(b) The State’s brief is currently due on December 10, 2014.
(c) This request is that the deadline for filing the State’s brief be extended by
60 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 the appellant’s brief was filed, the undersigned
attorney has completed and filed an original brief in three other pending
appellate cases, (i.e., John Albert Rendon v. State of Texas, No. 11-14-
00080-CR; Frank Howard McMarion v. State of Texas, No. 03-14-00140-
CR to 03-14-00145-CR; and Jose Luis Sosa v. State of Texas, No. 03-13-
00764-CR). The undersigned attorney is responsible for preparing the State’s
brief in another pending appellate case, (i.e., Shriya Patel v. State of Texas,
No. 03-14-00238-CR).
2. In addition, the undersigned attorney, as the director of the Appellate
Division of the Travis County District Attorney’s Office, has been required,
during the pendency of the instant appeal, to spend a considerable amount of
time working on a variety of other legal matters and administrative issues.
3. The State’s failure to request an extension before the due date is
2
attributable to a clerical error.
4. 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.
WHEREFORE, the State of Texas respectfully requests that the deadline for
filing the State’s brief be extended to February 9, 2015.
Respectfully submitted,
ROSEMARY LEHMBERG
District Attorney
Travis County, Texas
