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 6th day of July, 2015. Since the
lower court’s opinion was issued, the undersigned attorney completed four petitions,
prepared for and spoke at one conference, and attended a separate three-day
conference. The unusual demands of the last month created an unexpected shortage
of time. 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 July 6, 2015, be granted.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ John R. Messinger
