      APPLICANT’S FIRST UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

       Applicant Rodolfo Garza (hereinafter referred to as “Applicant”), by through his newly

retained undersigned counsel, respectfully submits this, his First Unopposed Motion for

Extension of Time, and in support thereof would show this Court as follows:

                                                   I.

       Applicant recently retained the undersigned to represent him in the above-styled

proceeding.

                                                  II.

       On June 17, 2015, this Court entered an Order setting forth deadlines by which the trial

court was to take certain actions in this matter, as described more fully therein, within ninety (90)

days and one hundred and twenty (120) days, respectively, of that Order,

                                                  III.

       The undersigned requires at least thirty (30) days to properly investigate this matter,

including, but not limited to reviewing offense reports, plea papers, sentencing transcripts, and

related materials concerning the numerous convictions at issue in this case, interviewing trial

counsel, and reviewing all pleadings and affidavits that have previously been filed.
                                                 IV.

       Consequently, the undersigned respectfully requests that this Court issue a new Order to

replace that of June 17, 2015, setting forth new deadlines of ninety (90) and one hundred (120)

days for the trial court to take the actions described more fully therein.

                                                  V.

       The undersigned conferred with Matagorda County District Attorney Steven Reis

concerning the relief requested in this motion, and learned that the State of Texas is not opposed

to same. Moreover, this is Applicant’s first request for such an extension of time.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Applicant Rodolfo Garza respectfully

requests that this unopposed motion be, in all things, granted, and that this Court enter a new

Order setting forth new deadlines to replace those previously described in this Court’s Order of

June 17, 2015.

                                                       Respectfully submitted,
