TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

         COMES NOW the Appellant, by and through his counsel, David Crook, and files

this motion for an extension of 30 days or the maximum amount of time possible in

which to file his Petition for Discretionary Review in the above-referenced appeal. In

support of this motion, Appellant would show the Court the following:

                                             I.

         On October 14, 2015, the Seventh Court of Appeals, in Appellate No. 07-15-

00071-CR, styled Chance Bolen v. the State of Texas, affirmed the judgment of the Court

below.

                                             II.

         The present deadline for filing Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review is

November 13, 2015. The Appellant has not requested any extensions with regard to his

P.D.R. prior to this request.

                                             III.

         Appellant's request for an extension is based upon the following facts: Counsel

has been spending some time in Shreveport, Louisiana, as Counsel’s 88-year old mother

requires some attention to her affairs regarding her increasing hearing and vision

problems.

                         November 12, 2015
