             FIRST UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO
               FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

        Now comes Enrique Gonzalez, Jr., Appellant in the above styled and

numbered cause, and moves for an extension of time of 30 days to file a petition for

discretionary review, and for good cause shows the following:

        1.    On December 10, 2014, the Court of Appeals affirmed appellant's

conviction. Enrique Gonzalez, Jr. v. State, Appellate Cause No. 04-13-00708-CR.

This petition is therefore due on January 9, 2015.

        2.    Counsel has been unable to complete the petition for the following

reasons: Trial Counsel's law partner was elected Jim Wells County Court at Law

Judge and commenced work on January 1, 2015. Thus trial counsel has acquired a

substantial case load. This Motion is not sought for delay but that justice may be

done.

        3.    The undersigned conferred with Rumaldo Solis, Jr., Assistant District

Attorney for the 229th Judicial District, who indicated there was no opposition to this
request.

      4.     Defendant is currently incarcerated.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, appellant respectfully

requests an extension of 30 days, i.e. until February 10, 2015, to file a petition for

discretionary review.

                                       Respectfully submitted,

                                       Marisol Carvajal-Garcia
