THE STATE OF TEXAS § APPELLEE
APPEAL FROM THE 403RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS
CAUSE NO. D1-DC-15-904009
STATE'S THIRD 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 Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon
and Attempted Arson, the appellant filed his notice of appeal in the above cause on
April 7, 2015. Appellant filed a brief on July 20, 2015.
(b) The State’s brief is currently due on October 19, 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: two.
(e) The State relies upon the following facts to reasonably explain the
need for an extension of the deadline:
1. During the period since the appellant’s brief was filed, the
undersigned attorney has completed and filed an original brief in
two other pending appellate cases, (i.e. Howard Thomas Douglas
v. State of Texas, No. 03-14-00605-CR; and Thomas Joseph
Krausz v. State of Texas, No. 03-15-00110-CR). The undersigned
attorney is also responsible for preparing the State’s brief in
another pending appellate case (i.e. Linda Woodman v. State of
Texas, No. 14-15-00032-CR and 14-15-00033-CR).
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 November 18, 2015.
Respectfully submitted,
ROSEMARY LEHMBERG
District Attorney
Travis County, Texas
