TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

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

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 convicted for the offense of murder and sentenced to
     life confinement.

2.   Appellant filed written notice of appeal on March 22, 2011.

3.   Appellant filed his brief on November 12, 2014.

4.   The State’s reply brief is due on December 12, 2014.

5.   The State seeks an extension until January 31, 2015, to file its brief.

6.   This is the State’s first request for an extension in this case.

7.   The following facts are relied upon to show good cause for the
     requested extension:

     For reasons unknown, this case was not assigned to me
     until December 19, 2014, a date past the due date.




                                   2
      WHEREFORE, the State prays that this Court will grant the requested

extension.

                                               Respectfully submitted,
