THE STATE OF TEXAS § APPELLEE
APPEAL FROM THE 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS
CAUSE NO. D1-DC-13-302230
STATE'S FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
The State of Texas respectfully moves for an extension of the deadline for
filing the State’s brief and, in accordance with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure
38.6 and 10.5(b), advises the Court as follows:
(a) Following his conviction for Possession Prohibited Weapon, the
appellant filed his notice of appeal in the above cause on February 9, 2015.
Appellant filed a brief on June 29, 2015.
(b) The State’s brief is currently due on July 29, 2015.
1
(c) This request is that the deadline for filing the State’s brief be extended
by 30 days.
(d) The number of previous extensions of time granted for submission of
the State’s brief is: none.
(e) The State relies upon the following facts to reasonably explain the
need for an extension of the deadline:
1. During the period since this brief was filed, the attorney assigned
to this case has been working on other pressing appellate matters
and has not had sufficient time to prepare an adequate response to
this brief.
2. This request is not made for the purpose of delay, but to ensure
that the Court has a proper State’s brief to aid in the just
disposition of the above cause.
2
WHEREFORE, the State of Texas respectfully requests that the deadline for
filing the State’s brief be extended to August 28, 2015.
Respectfully submitted,
