THE STATE OF TEXAS                         §                              APPELLEE

           APPEAL FROM THE 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

                           TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS

                          CAUSE NO. D1-DC-12-302414

           STATE'S FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      The State of Texas respectfully moves for an extension of the deadline for filing

the State’s brief and, in accordance with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 38.6 and

10.5(b), advises the Court as follows:

      (a) Following his conviction for Driving While Intoxicated, the appellant filed

his notice of appeal in the above cause on July 25, 2014. Appellant’s counsel filed a

brief on February 11, 2015.


                                           1
      (b)      The State’s brief is currently due on March 13, 2015.

      (c)      This request is that the deadline for filing the State’s brief be extended by

30 days.

      (d)      The number of previous extensions of time granted for submission of the

State’s brief is: none.

      (e)      The State relies upon the following facts to reasonably explain the need

for an extension of the deadline:

      1. During the period since this brief was filed, the attorney assigned to this case

            has been working on other pressing appellate matters and has not had

            sufficient time to prepare an adequate response to this brief.

      2. This request is not made for the purpose of delay, but to ensure that the

            Court has a proper State’s brief to aid in the just disposition of the above

            cause.




                                             2
      WHEREFORE, the State of Texas respectfully requests that the deadline for

filing the State’s brief be extended to April 13, 2015.

                                              Respectfully submitted,

                                              ROSEMARY LEHMBERG
