APPELLEE’S (STATE’S) MOTION TO

APPELLANT’S BRIEF
____________________________________________________________
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
COMES NOW, the State of Texas, by and through Gary D. Young, the
elected County and District Attorney of Lamar County, Texas and the Lamar
County and District Attorney’s Office, respectfully submits this Motion to
Extend Time to File Brief under Tex. R. App. P. 10 and 38. The State of
Texas moves this Court pursuant to the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure
2
for an extension of time in which to file the Appellee’s (State’s) Brief upon
good cause shown below.
I.
On or about December 19, 2014, the appellant filed his brief in the
above-styled and numbered appellate cause. As the appellee, the State filed
its brief on February 10, 2015.
On or about February 18 or 20th of 2015, the County Clerk of Lamar
County filed a supplemental clerk’s record that included a bill of costs. See
Supp. CR, pg. 3.
II.
With his fourth issue, the appellant, Tyson, alleged that the record did
not contain a certified bill of costs; therefore, Tyson cannot be made to pay
costs of court. See Appellant’s Brief, pgs. 4, 20. Since the filing of
Tyson’s brief, however, the County Clerk of Lamar County filed a
supplemental clerk’s record that included a bill of costs. See Supp. CR, pg.
3.
III.
Under the authority of Rule 38.9 of the Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure, the State asks this Court to order the appellant (Tyson) to amend,
supplement or redraw his brief. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.9 (“Because briefs
3
are meant to acquaint the court with the issues in a case and to present
argument that will enable the court to decide the case, substantial
compliance with this rule is sufficient, . . .”). Now that the County Clerk
has filed a supplemental clerk’s record on or about February 20th, that
included a bill of costs, the appellant, Tyson, should amend, supplement or
redraw his brief with respect to the fourth issue/point of error. See id.
In the alternative, the State asks this Court to hold that the appellant’s,
Tyson’s, fourth issue/point of error is now moot.
IV.
The purpose of this motion is not for delay because the above-styled
and numbered cause is not set for submission until March 3, 2015, but so
that justice may be had by all parties.
WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State of Texas prays
that upon final submission of this motion to this Court’s motion docket, this
Court grant the State’s Motion to Amend, Supplement or Redraw Appellant’s
Brief; or in the alternative, this Court should that the appellant’s, Tyson’s,
fourth and final issue should be moot; and for such other and further relief,
both at law and in equity, to which it may be justly and legally entitled.
