David Schlittler, the Appellant, requests permission to file a reply brief in response to the State's brief in his appeal (Case No. PD-1505-14). He cites Rules 70.4, 38.3, and 38.6 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, which allow for additional briefs to be filed, and specifies that a computer-generated reply brief must not exceed 7,500 words and is due within 20 days of the State's filing. Schlittler's attorney was notified of the State's brief on April 20, 2015, making the reply due by May 11, 2015, with the case scheduled for oral argument on May 20, 2015.

Schlittler argues that a reply is necessary to address specific issues raised in the State's brief, particularly regarding the family court's conservatorship order and to clarify his position on Section 38.111 of the Penal Code, which he claims improperly delegates legislative power. He indicates that he can complete the reply brief by April 30, 2015, and emphasizes that the request is not intended for delay, but to ensure a comprehensive presentation of his arguments.

The motion is supported by a certificate of conference, confirming that the State's attorney, Melinda Fletcher, does not oppose the motion. Additionally, a certificate of compliance states that the document adheres to typeface requirements and includes a service certificate indicating that the motion was served to the relevant parties on April 21, 2015.
