                       MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THIS COURT:

       COMES NOW Gerald E. Bourque, appointed capital appellate counsel for
Appellant Rogelio Aviles-Barroso in the above styled-and-numbered causes of action.
Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure Rule 38.6(d), Appellant requests
additional time to file his petition for discretionary review (PDR) for the following
reasons:
                                            I.
        On August 27th, 2015, the Fourteenth Court of Appeals affirmed Mr. Barroso’s
capital murder conviction. Appellant’s current deadline to file his PDR is September 28,
2015. Counsel has two capital murder trials set on 10/5/15 and 10/12/15. To effectively
represent these capital defendants and research and draft Appellant’s PDR, appellate
counsel needs additional time. Appellate counsel asks this court for an extended deadline
of November 12th, 2015. This is counsel’s first request for an extension of time.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendant respectfully prays that
this Honorable Court will grant this, Appellant’s Motion for Extension of Time.

                                                     Respectfully submitted,

                                                     /s/ Gerald E. Bourque
