cause and moves this Court, pursuant to Rule 2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure, to suspend the timelines allowed in Rules 68.9, 70.1 and 70.2 of the Texas

This matter centers around the 3rd Court of Appeals’ judgment regarding bond

days and, in the event the instant petition is granted, reduce the time allowed in TRAP
Rules 70.1 and 70.2 to 15 (fifteen) days.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Petitioner requests this Court to
take notice that the instant matter centers around bond in a matter currently pending in
the 428th Judicial District Court of Hays County, Texas and the 3rd Court of Appeals’
1
judgment and interpretation of Article 17.151 of the Texas Code of Criminal
Procedure and reduce the time allowed for a reply in TRAP Rule 68.9 and, in the
event the instant petition is granted, reduce the time allowed for briefs in TRAP Rules
70.1 and 70.2.
