                          MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
                           PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

    TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

              COMES NOW, Edward Flores, Appellant, and requests this Court grant an

    extension of time to file his Petition for discretionary review and would show unto the

    Court the following:

              1.     On February 26, 2015, the Court of Appeals delivered and filed its opinion

    in Appeal No. 01-13-00295-CR, styled Edward Flores v. State of Texas, in the First

    Court of Appeals in Houston, Texas. Appellant timely filed a Motion for Rehearing in the

    First Court of Appeals. The motion for Rehearing was denied May 11, 2015, however

    Counsel got notice, via email, from the first court of appeals on May 12, 2015. Counsel

    having received the email on May 12, 2015, did not notice the denial of the motion for

    rehearing had occurred on May 11, 2015 and calendared his deadline to file his Petition

    for Discretionary Review as June 11, 2015

              2.     The deadline for filing a petition for discretionary review is June 11,

    2015.1. The Deadline for filing a motion for extension of deadline to file Petition for

    1
      The actual due date to file the motion for rehearing is March 28, 2015. Since March 28, 2015 is a
    Saturday, the due date would be moved to the first business day, which would be March 30, 2015. T.R.A.P
    4.1(a)
Discretionary review pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellant Procedure 68.2(c) is June 26,

2015.

        3.      Appellant is requesting an extension of at least seven days.

        4.      Appellant's counsel is requesting this extension of time to his motion to

file Petition for discretionary review because Appellant's Counsel as stated above,

Counsel having received e-mail notice that the Motion for rehearing was denied May 12,

2015, inadvertently calendared the Petition as June 11, 2015. A petition for

Discretionary Review was filed on Appellant’s behalf June 11, 2015, thinking this was

timely filing the petition.

        5.      No other extensions for time to file an extension to file Petition of

Discretionary Review have been previously granted to this attorney in this appeal since

the Motion for Rehearing was denied.

                                               Respectfully Submitted,

                                               _______________________________
