                 THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

        The State of Texas respectfully requests the court to accept the State’s Brief

in this cause and would show the following:

                                           I.

        The State’s Brief in this cause was due on December 29, 2014.

                                           II.

        The State’s Brief in this cause was submitted to the court on January 15,

2015.

                                          III.

        The State’s attorney failed to accurately notate the due date on the calendar.

                                          IV.

        The State’s attorney was not in the office from January 5, 2015 through
January 9, 2015 because he was a faculty advisor at the Texas District and County

Attorneys Association Prosecutor Trial Skills Course in Austin, Texas.

                                         V.

      Due to a family emergency of a colleague, the State’s attorney tried the State

of Texas v. Beau Awtrey, Cause Number 15606, in the 423rd Judicial District Court

of Bastrop County, Texas from January 13, 2015 through January 14, 2015.

                                      PRAYER

      The State requests the court accept the late brief filed in this Cause.




                                              Respectfully Submitted,
