                                  1
      COMES NOW, Robert Warterfield, Appellant herein, and moves this court

to issue an extension of time to file his petition for discretionary review, and in

support thereof would show the court as follows:

                                               I.

      The number and style of the case in the District Court is No. F10-61655-V,

State of Texas v. Robert Tracy Warterfield.

                                              II.

      A mandate from the Fifth Court of Appeals in cause number 05-12-00646-

CR, granting an out-of-time Petition for Discretionary Review was rendered on

September 21, 2015.

                                              III.

      The present deadline for filing the petition for discretionary review in this

matter is October 21, 2015.

                                              V.
