          CCA No. WR-53,367-03
          Trial Court Case No. CR10295C

          Dear Mr. Acosta:

         On January 14, 2015, the Court ordered this trial court to resolve specific issues in the
         above-referenced proceeding relating to the defendant's application for a writ of habeas
         corpus. The Court ordered resolution of the issues within 90 days, and supplementation
         of the record within 120 days.

         The undersigned has been assigned as a senior judge to preside over the underlying
         district court proceedings. I today learned of the status of the Court's order which was
         entered more than 90 days ago. Having reviewed the Court's Order and instructions
         contained therein, I am of the opinion that the issues required may be addressed and the
         supplemental record submitted within 60 days of each respective deadline.

         Accordingly, the trial court respectfully requests an extension of time to resolve fact issues
         (as set out in the Court's Order) until June 13, 2015. Further, the trial court respectfully
         requests an extension of time for the trial court clerk to submit supplemental record
         materials until July 13, 2015.
Should the Court or Court Clerk have additional instructions, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

                       ORDER OF ASSIGNMENT BY THE PRESIDING JUDGE

                Pursuant to Section 74.056, Texas Government Code,                 I
     assign the Honorable Donald Jones, Senior District Judge of the
     2 66TH Court     to   the

                2 66th District Court,        Erath County,       Texas.

             The judge is assigned for a period of 1 days, beginning
     April 27th, 2015. If the judge begins a trial on the merits
     during the period of this assignment, the assignment continues
     in such case until plenary jurisdiction has expired or the
     undersigned Presiding Judge has terminated this assignment in
     writing,    whichever occurs first.

                It is ordered that the Clerk of the Court to which this
     assignment made, if it is reasonable and practicable, and if time
     permits, give notice of this assignment to each attorney
     representing a party to a case that is to be heard in whole or
     in part by the assigned judge.

                It is further ordered that the Clerk,               upon receipt
     hereof, shall post a copy of this order in a public area of the
     Clerk's office or courthouse so that attorneys and parties may
     be advised of this assignment.

                SIGNED April 9th,      2015

                                 Presiding Judge,
