 MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE STATE'S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE THIRD COURT OF
APPEALS:

      The State of Texas by and through its attorney, Dee Hobbs,

Williamson County Attorney, files this Motion to Extend Time for Filing

State's Brief, and in support of this motion, would respectfully show the

following:

   1. The State's current deadline for filing its State's Brief is January 30,

      2015.

   2. This is the State's first request for an extension of time.

   3. The undersigned Assistant County Attorney has numerous matters on

      appeal at different stages in the various Courts of Appeals of Texas.

      Furthermore, the undersigned Assistant County Attorney continues to

      be required in the courtroom to assist with dockets, to answer and

      research questions from law enforcement and other prosecutors,

      respond to petitioners' writs of habeas corpus and represent applicants

      for protective orders.
      For the above-mentioned reasons, the undersigned Assistant County

Attorney has not had sufficient time to research the applicable law and

prepare an adequate brief by the current deadline of January 30, 2015.

   THEREFORE, the State requests that the Court grant this motion and

extend the deadline for filing the brief of Appellee for thirty (30) days

beyond the original deadline imposed.

      SIGNED this the 30th day of January, 2015.

                                        Respectfully submitted,
