                                                   Attorney for Appellant

                                                   December 19, 2014
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS:

        NOW COMES, VALDEMAR BAUTISTA, and files this Motion To Extend

Time To File Petition For Discretionary Review. In support of this motion, he would

respectfully show the Court the following:

                                                I.

        In a PUBLISHED opinion delivered November 20, 2014, a panel of the Fourteenth

Court of Appeals AFFIRMED Appellant’s appeal from a judgment of conviction for

continuous sexual abuse of a child by the 506th District Court of Waller County. Appellant

did not file a motion for rehearing. Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review is due on

December 19, 2014. This motion to extend time to file petition for discretionary review is

timely filed within thirty days after the court of appeals issued its opinion or overruled

Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing or within fifteen days of said deadline. See TEX. R. APP.

PROC. 68.2.

                                               II.

        Appellant is requesting additional time to file the petition for discretionary review.

More time is necessary to research the issues involved.

                                               III.

        Appellant asserts that this motion is not made solely for purposes of delay and that

the granting of this motion will not prejudice the rights of the State.
                                              IV.

        Appellant is therefore requesting a thirty [30] day extension so that his Petition may

be timely filed.

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that the

Honorable Court of Criminal Appeals will grant his Motion To Extend Time To File

Petition For Discretionary Review.

                                                                Respectfully submitted,
