`
`
`STATE’S FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION
`OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF
`
`The State of Texas, under the authority of Rules 10.5(b) and 68.2(c), Texas Rules
`
`of Appellate Procedure, asks the Court to extend time to file the State’s Response from
`
`November 2, 2022, up to and including December 2, 2022, a period of 30 days.
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`The State’s Brief is presently due on August 23, 2022.
`
`The State respectfully requests an additional 30 days to file its brief, that is, an
`
`extension of time until December 2, 2022.
`
`3. No previous extension has been requested by the State.
`
`4.
`
`The State of Texas requests this extension based on the following reasons:
`
`A.
`
`The 81st Judicial District Attorney’s Office covers five (5) counties and
`
`over two hundred miles. The attorney for the State handles all asset
`
`forfeiture cases, bond forfeiture cases, requests for records under the
`
`Texas Public Information Act and appeals for all 5 counties within the 81st
`
`B.
`
`C.
`
`Judicial District.
`
`Opposing counsel has no objections to the State's motion.
`
`Extension is justified by the present workload for the undersigned
`
`attorney, and requires additional time to compose a brief that will
`
`adequately assist the Court in reviewing this case and rendering an
`
`opinion.
`
`D.
`
`Due to the serious nature of Appellant’s crime and conviction, the State
`
`wishes to take the time to fully and adequately research and address all
`
`issues presented in the appellant’s brief.
`
`
`
`
`
`For these reasons, the State asks the Court to grant an extension of 30 days to
`
`December 2, 2022, within which the State may file its brief in this cause.
