In the 185th district court of Harris County, Texas, cause 1410607, the State of Texas v. Jesse Dimas Alvarado, appellant, was convicted of being a 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 is due on May 13, 2015. 4. An extension of time in which to file the State’s brief is requested until June 15, 2015. 5. One previous extension has been requested by the State. 6. The facts relied upon to explain the need for this extension are: Since my last motion for extension, I have filed a brief in cause number 01-14-00615-CR, and I will be filing a brief in cause number 14-13-00370-CR in the next week. I was set for trial on May 4th, 2015 on the State of Texas v. Sidney Darrell in cause number 1421932. The case did not go to trial on May 4th, but was carried day to day for the entire week. The trial was going to commence on May 8th, but the defendant pled. Much of my time throughout the last month has been dedicated to trial preparation in this case. 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 June 15, 2015 in which to file the State’s brief in this case.
