STATE’S MOTION TO CONSIDER RECORD

IN CAUSE NUMBER 09-17-00012-CR

____________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

COMES NOW the State of Texas, by the undersigned assistant district

attorney, and moves the Court for an extension of time to file its appellate brief in the

above-captioned cases. The State would respectfully show the Court the following:

1. On January 7, 2011, in trial court cause number 08-12-11826-CR, the

appellant pleaded guilty to committing sexual assault, and the trial court deferred a

finding of guilt and sentenced the appellant to community supervision for a period of

six years.

2. On December 5, 2015, the trial court held a hearing on the State’s motion to

adjudicate guilt in trial court cause number 08-12-11826-CR. At the conclusion of

the hearing, the trial court adjudicated the appellant guilty and sentenced him to

confinement for twenty years. The appellant immediately filed a notice of appeal in

that case. This Court assigned an appellate cause number of 09-17-00012-CR to

that case, and it remains pending in this Court as of the date of this filing.

3. On December 9, 2016, in trial court cause number 14-07-08281-CR, a jury

convicted the appellant of aggravated sexual assault of a child and assessed his

punishment at imprisonment for life. This appeal followed.

4. In the reporter’s record for the case at hand, the trial court specifically

references the record from the motion to adjudicate hearing in trial court cause

number 08-12-11826-CR and indicates that the court relied on its memory of some

of the testimony adduced during the adjudication hearing for purposes of making a

ruling in this case. That ruling forms a part of the basis for relief sought by the

appellant in this appeal.

5. The reporter’s record for trial court cause number 08-12-11826-CR and

appellate court cause number 09-17-00012-CR has previously been filed in this

Court and is available for its review.

THEREFORE, the State requests that this Court incorporate the reporter’s

record from appellate court cause number 09-17-00012-CR as part of the record in

this appeal (appellate court cause number 09-17-00495-CR), and consider that

record for purposes of deciding the merits of the appellant’s points of error.
