          APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
          TO FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

      NOW COMES, , Appellant in the above entitled and numbered cause, by and

through his attorney of record, Stanley G. Schneider, and submits this Motion for

Extension of Time to file his Petition for Discretionary Review until December 16,

2015. For good cause, Appellant shows as follows:

                                        1                    November 16, 2015
      1.     The First Court of Appeals issued its opinion on October 15, 2015.

Appellant did not file a Motion for Rehearing. Appellant’s petition for discretionary

review is due November 16, 2015. This is Appellant’s first request for an extension

of time to file Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review.

      2.     Appellant’s counsel is in trial in State of Texas v. Robert Yetman, Cause

Number in the 176th District Court of Harris County, Texas. A jury was selected on

October 29, 2015, and evidence began November 2, 2015, and the trial has not yet

concluded.

      3.     Appellant’s counsel participated in the following in the past thirty days:

State of Texas v. Eric Heilman, Post Conviction Hearing after case was reversed and

remanded back to the trial court on appeal. This post conviction hearing was

assigned to Judge Kent Walston for the County Court at Law No. 2 of Jefferson

County, Texas.

      4.     This Motion is not made for delay, but to see that justice is done.

Appellant submits that the State of Texas will not be prejudiced by the granting of

this continuance.

                                      PRAYER

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that the

deadline for filing of Appellant’s Motion for Extension of Time to file his Petition for

Discretionary Review be extended to December 16, 2015.
