      MAX EDWARD WEBB,                             §                                            2-19'lT"
      Appellant                                                      On Petition for Review of
      v.                                                             No. 01-14-00200-CR

                                                   §                 First District of Texas
      THE STATE OF TEXAS                           §
      Appellee

                      MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
                       PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

              Appellant Max Edward Webb moves the Court for an extension of time to file

      her petition for discretionary review until and including February 16, 2015, and shows:

           1. In cause number 01-14-00200-CR, the First Court of Appeals affirmed Mr.
              Webb's conviction on December 15, 2014. The deadline to file the petition for
              discretionary review is January 15, 2015. Rule 68.2(c) of the Texas Rules of
              Appellate Procedure provides that the Court may extend the time to file the
              petition if a motion to extend is filed no later than 15 days after the last day for
              filing the petition.

           2. Mr. Webb has made one request for extension.

           3. Counsel began investigating and preparing for a motion for new trial in a
              murder case on December 23, 2014; counsel received the file 12 days into the
              30-day period for filing the motion. The entire case needed to be reinvestigated
              and took up all of counsel's time before the deadline and a great deal of
              counsel's time after the deadline. The hearing on the motion is February 19,
              2015. This has impeded counsel being able to meet this and other deadlines.
