TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:
Comes now the State of Texas, by and through its State Prosecuting Attorney,
and respectfully submits to the Court its motion to extend the time for filing its
petition for discretionary review to and including the 22nd day of May, 2015. A
motion for rehearing was denied on April 17, 2015, and its petition was due May 18,
2015. The State’s petition is being filed this day. In addition to working on a petition
that was submitted last Friday, and three other petitions to be submitted during the
next two weeks, undersigned counsel spent significant time in the last month preparing
for a speaking engagement, something that is not ordinarily part of his duties. No
previous motions to extend the deadline for filing this petition have been filed.
WHEREFORE, the State prays that its motion to extend the time for filing its
petition until May 22, 2015, be granted.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ John R. Messinger
