Bar I.D. No. 13803300
Asst. State Prosecuting Attorney
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 petition for discretionary review to and including the 6 day of July, 2015. Since the lower court’s opinion was issued, the undersigned attorney completed four petitions, prepared for and spoke at one conference, and attended a separate three-day conference. The unusual demands of the last month created an unexpected shortage of time. No previous motions to extend the deadline for filing this petition have been filed.
WHEREFORE, the State prays that its motion to extend the time for filing its petition until July 6, 2015, be granted.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN R. MESSINGER P.O. Box 13046 *3 CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
A copy of the foregoing State’s Motion to Extend the Time for Filing its Petition for Discretionary Review has been eFiled or e-mailed on this the 4 day of th June, 2015 to:
