           STATE'S FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                    TO FILE ITS BRIEF ON APPEAL

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      The State requests that the Court grant a 30-day extension of time for the filing

of the State’s brief in this case. The following allegations are made in support of this

motion:

                                          -I-

      The court below is the County Criminal Court No. 10 of Tarrant County,

Texas. The style and number of the case in the trial court is The State of Texas v.

Travis Bell, No. 1478469.

                                         - II -

      Appellant was convicted of a DWI misdemeanor offense and is not

incarcerated.
                                         - III -

         Appellant filed his brief on April 27, 2018.

                                         - IV -

        The current deadline for filing the State’s brief is May 29, 2018.

                                          -V-

        The State has no extensions in this case. Two motions for extension were

granted to Appellant.

                                         - VI -

        The submission date in this case is not set. Therefore, this requested extension

will not delay submission. Counsel has been tasked with a number of projects

following his release from the hospital and has been unable to complete this instant

brief for that reason.

                                         - VII -

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State of Texas prays that

this Court grant this State’s First Motion for Extension of Time to File its Brief on

Appeal and extend the time for filing of the State’s brief to Thursday, June 28,

2018.

                                         Respectfully submitted,
