      NOW COMES the State of Texas, Appellee in the above entitled and
numbered cause and files this Motion for Extension of Time to File
Appellee's Brief, and in support thereof would show the Court the following:
                                         I.
      Appellant was found guilty of Theft Over $20,000, a Third Degree

at 25 years confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on
June 19, 2014.     Appellant filed Notice of Appeal on August 20, 2014.
Appellant's brief was filed on April 22, 2015. Appellant’s amended brief was
filed on May 12, 2015. The State's brief is currently due on July 24, 2015.
                                         II.
      The State has requested one previous extension in this case.
                                        III.
      The State requests this extension of time due to the following: Counsel

Deadly Weapon, enhanced as a Habitual Offender, in State v. James Ray
Parker, Cause Number B-13-0458-SA, which began on July 20, 2015.
Additionally, Counsel for the State has been involved in prosecution of cases
including contested hearings, pretrial hearings, grand jury presentation,
negotiations with opposing counsel, guilty pleas and other hearings in
numerous additional pending felony cases.
      WHEREFORE, The Attorney for the State requests an extension of
time to August 24, 2015, in which to file State's Brief.
