                          ATTORNEY FOR APPELLEE
                          THE STATE OF TEXAS
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

       COMES NOW THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee herein, and pursuant to Rule

10.5 (b), TEX.R.APP.PROC., and pursuant to the extension policies of this Court,

makes this request to extend filing the brief in this cause and would show as follows:



                                          I.

       The deadline for filing Appellee’s brief is November 18, 2105.



                                          II.

       Appellee requests an addition seven (7) days in which to complete the brief.



                                          III.

       Appellee’s brief was almost completed for submission on November 17, 2015,

when the courthouse and surrounding areas in Marshall experienced a significant power

outage. After the power was restored, the files for Appellee’s brief and research were

compromised to the point of needing additional time to reconstruct the brief.



                                          III.

       With a grant of an additional seven (7) days Appellee will be able to have the

brief rewritten and submitted to the Court.


                                                 2
                                           IV.



       There has previously been no motion filed for extension of time, or grants of time

extended to Appellee, for the filing of Appellee’s brief.



       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee,

respectfully requests that this Honorable Court of Appeals will, upon reviewing this

Motion, grant the extension of time for filing Appellee’s brief as requested herein, and

for such other relief to which Appellee may be entitled.

       .
