  STATE’S MOTION FOR FINAL EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF
                      
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      THE STATE OF TEXAS, pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 2 & 10.5, moves for

an extension of time in which to file its appellate brief and in its motion, would

show the Court the following:

      1. The appellant was charged with the aggravated robbery of Maria Estrada

         committed on August 13, 2013 (CR – 15). He pled “not guilty” to the

         charge, and the case was tried to a jury (CR – 183). The jury found the

         appellant guilty and sentenced him to 20 years in prison on August 22,

         2014 (CR – 183). The appellant filed notice of appeal three days later,

         and the trial court certified his right to appeal (CR – 186-188).
2. The State’s brief was originally due on May 15, 2015, but this Court

   granted extensions until July 15, 2015. The State hereby requests a final

   30-day extension for the filing of the State’s brief.

3. The following facts are relied upon to show good cause for an extension

   of time to allow the State to file its brief:

      a. The record in this case is over eighteen megabytes in length split
          over seven volumes and will take some time to process.

      b. The undersigned attorney researched and answered by email more
          than 100 legal questions of trial prosecutors since the appellant
          filed his brief. The undersigned attorney researched and answered
          even more such questions by phone during that time period.

      c. The undersigned attorney is responsible for supervising six other
          appellate prosecutors, and has spent a substantial amount of time
          reviewing the briefs of those prosecutors, attending their oral
          arguments, and assisting in the preparation of both during that time
          period. The undersigned attorney has also been responsible for
          training two new appellate prosecutors, which requires more
          intense supervision and editing, and therefore, more of a time
          commitment.

      d. The undersigned attorney has been involved in completing the
          following written appellate project since the appellant filed his
          brief:
