        WITHIN WHICH TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF

                            

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

        THE STATE OF TEXAS, pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1, 10.5(b) &

38.6(d), moves for an extension of time within which to file its appellate

brief. In support of its motion, the State submits the following:

   1.     Appellant was charged with the felony offense of sexual assault.

          He was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment.
   2.    The State’s brief was due, after one extension, on December 22,

         2014. The State’s seeks a second extension of 30 days, until

         January 21, 2015, to file its brief.

   3.    The undersigned attorney has just filed two PDR’s in the Court of

         Criminal Appeals, Jessica Tata v. State and Gary Wayne Wilson v. State.

         Additionally, the undersigned attorney has been working on

         legislative analysis for two upcoming bills and is scheduled to

         speak and attend TDCAA’s Prosecutor Trial Skills Course the

         week of January 4-9, 2015. The undersigned attorney has three

         briefs due in the next two weeks.

   4.    The State’s motion is not for purposes of delay, but so that justice

         may be done.

   WHEREFORE, the State prays that this Court will grant the requested

extension until January 21, 2015.

                                         Respectfully submitted,

                                         /s/Jessica Akins
