TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS OF TEXAS:

      COMES NOW THE STATE OF TEXAS, in accordance with Rules 10.5(b)(1)

and 38.6(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and files this motion for

extension of time in which to file the State’s brief in these cases, and, in support

thereof, presents the following:

      1. In the 262nd district court of Harris County, Texas, cause 1421977, the State

          of Texas v. Devon Hensley, appellant, was convicted of aggravated robbery.

      2. He was assessed punishment of confinement for 43 years in the Institutional

      Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
       3. The State’s brief is due on February 9, 2014.

       4. An extension of time in which to file the State’s brief is requested until

       March 16, 2015.

       5. No previous extensions have been requested by the State.

       6. The facts relied upon to explain the need for this extension are:


        Since appellant filed his brief, I have filed briefs in cause numbers 01-14-
00332-CR, 14-14-00451-CR, 14-14-00704-CR, 01-14-00605-CR, and 14-13-
00767-CR. I have also been assigned the appellate briefs in 4 other cases. In
addition to brief writing, I also handle legal questions from trial court
prosecutors on a daily basis. This motion is not sought for delay, but so that
justice may be done.

       WHEREFORE, the State prays that this Court will grant an extension of time

until March 16, 2015 in which to file the State’s brief in this case.

                                                        Respectfully submitted,
