                                THE STATE OF TEXAS

                     FROM THE SECOND COURT OF APPEALS

                                     FORT WORTH

                                  NO. 02-14-00376-CR

                     APPEALED FROM 271ST DISTRICT COURT

                                WISE COUNTY, TEXAS

                               TRIAL NUMBER CR17125

   MOTION TO EXTEND TIME OF FILING OF PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY

                 REVIEW TO THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS.

         This motion is brought by the Applicant DUANE REID, who moves the Court
  to permit him to file this Application late and would show the Court the following:

                                             I

         The opinion of the Court of Appeals is dated September 24, 2015. The
  correct statutory time for filing a Petition for Discretionary Review is within 30 days,
  October 26, 2015.

         This motion is brought within 15 days of October 26, 2015.

                                            II.

          The attorney for the applicant has within the last 45 days served as chief
  counsel in two felony and several misdemeanor jury trials. The time and effort in the
  preparation of the aforementioned jury trials caused the counsel for the Applicant to
  not file the Petition for Discretionary Review within the 30 days. As a result of the
aforementioned activities counsel for Appellant, reasonably believes that the
Petitioner for Discretionary Review will be filed with this Court within thirty (30) days
of the October 26, 2015, date.

       The granting of this motion should not delay any action that would otherwise
take place.

       WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Applicant prays that this Court
grant this request to file the Petition for Discretionary Review.

                                            Respectfully submitted,

                                            /s/ Abe Factor_____________________
