TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS OF TEXAS:

       COMES NOW THE STATE OF TEXAS, in accordance with Rules 10.5(b)(1) and

38.6(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and files this motion for extension of

time in which to file the State’s brief in this case, and, in support thereof, presents the

following:
        1. In the 262nd District Court of Harris County, Texas, in cause numbers 1408625

and 1408626, the Appellant was convicted on August 12, 2014, in The State of Texas v.

David Sendejo.

        2. For two offenses of aggravated assault, his punishment was assessed at sixty-five

years in prison in both cases.

        3. Written notices of appeal were timely filed on August 12, 2014.

        4. Appellant’s brief was filed with this Court on January 12, 2015.

        5. The State’s brief was due to be filed with this Court on February 11, 2015.

        6. An extension of time in which to file the State’s brief is requested until March 9,

2015.

        7. No previous extensions have been granted to the State.

        8. The facts relied upon to explain the need for this extension are:

        The State’s brief in this case has been prepared by an appellate intern, who has
        also been attending law school during this same time period. Therefore,
        additional time has been necessary in order to prepare the State’s brief.
       WHEREFORE, the State prays that this Court will grant an extension of time until

March 9, 2015, in which to file the State’s brief in this case.


                                                             Respectfully submitted,
