THE STATE OF TEXAS
Appellee
STATE’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
IN WHICH TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
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 185th district court of Harris County, Texas, cause 1410607, the State of
Texas v. Jesse Dimas Alvarado, appellant, was convicted of felon in possession
of a weapon.
2. He was assessed punishment of confinement for 5 years in the Institutional
Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
3. The State’s brief was due on April 10, 2015.
4. An extension of time in which to file the State’s brief is requested until May
13, 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 14-14-
00204-CR and 14-14-00777-CR. In addition to the present case, I have 4 briefs
assigned to me, am recreating exhibits for an abatement hearing in cause
number 14-13-00767-CR, and am preparing for trial on May 4th, 2015 on the
State of Texas v. Sidney Darrell in cause number 1421932. I was also out of the
country from April 8th to April 12th on vacation. 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 May 13, 2015 in which to file the State’s brief in this case.
Respectfully submitted,
