TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

Comes now the State of Texas, by and through its State Prosecuting Attorney,

and respectfully submits to the Court its motion to extend the time for filing its brief

to and including the 22nd day of December, 2015. A previous extension was granted

until December 21,2015, and the State's briefwas timely submitted. However, it was

subsequently discovered that it contains the name of someone who was a minor at the

time at least one aspect of the offense was committed. In order to fully comply with

Tex. R. App. P. 9.10, the State is filing a version of its brief in which a pseudonym is

used. There are no substantive changes.

WHEREFORE, the State prays that its motion to extend the time for filing its

petition until December 22, 2015, be granted.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ John R. Messinger JOHN R. MESSINGER Assistant State Prosecuting Attorney Bar I.D. No. 24053705
