               MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
                PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
       Now comes RICHARD H. VOLLICK, Petitioner herein, by and through his attorney,

John Gilmore, and moves this Court grant an extension of time to file his Petition for

Discretionary Review pursuant to Rule 68.2(c) Tex. R. App. P., and for cause would show the

court as follows:

                                                I.

       Petitioner would seek review of Cause No. 13-14-00261-CR, from the Thirteenth Court

of Appeals District of Texas in Corpus Christi, whose Judgment was issued on July 23, 2015. A

Motion for Rehearing was timely filed and denied by the court on August 17, 2015. That appeal

arose out of Cause No. l 3-CR-4388-B in the l 171h Judicial District Court of Nueces County,

Texas, wherein Petitioner was convicted of the third degree felony offense of driving while

intoxicated (third). On April 30, 2014, Petitioner was sentenced to confinement in the

Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for seventy years. Petitioner
is currently incarcerated.

                                                  II.

        The Petition for Discretionary Review is due on September 16 2015, and Petitioner

requests this first extension of thirty days, or until October 16, 2015.

                                                 III.

        For good cause, Petitioner's attorney was retained to represent defendant in a Petition for

Discretionary Review just this date, September 15, 2015, and is unable to complete the petition

for thirty days.

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant respectfully prays that this

Honorable Court extend the time for filing a Petition for Discretionary Review for thirty days

until October 16, 2015.

                                               Respectfully submitted,
