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 21st day of December, 2015. The State’s brief is currently due

December 4, 2015. Due to time spent away from the office for the recent holiday and

motions to extend this deadline have been filed.

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

petition until December 21, 2015, be granted.
