In the 178th District Court of Harris County, Texas, in cause number 1243451, The State of Texas v.

An extension of time in which to file the State’s brief is requested until January 30, 2015. 6. Three previous extensions of time have been requested by the State. 7. The facts relied upon to explain the need for this extension are: The State’s Assistant District Attorney on appeal was mobilized to active duty in the United States Navy on January 23, 2015. The original expected date of this 1 year mobilization order was February 6, 2015, but was accelerated with minimal notice. The requirement to relocate from Houston to Norfolk, Virginia required a significant utilization of time previously intended to complete this brief, and delayed the work on all assigned briefs. Temporary relocation and mobilization requirements have been completed and work on this brief has resumed. The State’s Assistant District Attorney on appeal will submit this brief by the end of the current week. WHEREFORE, the State prays that this Court will grant an extension of time until January 30, 2015 in which to file the State’s brief in this case.
