       MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING STATE’S BRIEF


TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

      COMES NOW the State of Texas by and through her below named Criminal

District Attorney and pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure and hereby

requests a thirty (30) day extension of the time period for the filing of the State’s

Brief and in support of the same should show the Court as follows:

                                         I.

1. This case is pending from the 5TH Judicial District of Bowie County, Texas.

2. The case is styled State of Texas v. Kevin Fahrni, Cause No. 10F0484-005.

3. Appellant was found guilty to the offense of Aggravated Sexual Assault Robbery

and sentenced to fifty (50) years in the Institutional Division of the Texas

Department of Criminal Justice.
5. Appellant’s Brief was filed on April 17, 2015 making the State’s Brief originally

due on or about May 18, 2015.

6. The State not previously requested an extension of time for filing a brief.

7. The State’s attorney handling this case on appeal resigned from the Bowie County

District Attorney’s office, effective May 15, 2015. This case was re-assigned, and is

The State’s attorney has been diligent in pursuing this appeal and is not seeking this

extension for the purpose of delay.

                                       PRAYER

WHEREFORE, on the bases of Rule 73 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure,

the State respectfully requests this Court to grant the Motion for Extension of Time
