  MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY
                             REVIEW

 TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

        Now comes Christopher Campos, Appellant in Cause Number 09-14-00481-CR in the

 Ninth Court of Appeals- Beaumont, and asks this Court to permit the extension of time to file the

 Petition for Discretionary Review, pursuant to the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and for

 good cause shows the following:

        1.      Appellant hereby requests leave of the Court to extend the time to file the Petition

 for Discretionary Review. The current deadline was December 4, 2015. No previous extensions

 to file the brief have been requested or granted.

        2.      Undersigned counsel inadvertently miscalculated the deadline to file the Petition

 (or the motion to extend), and respectfully requests that the Court grant this extension and allow

 counsel to file the petition on Monday, December 7, 2015, in the interest of justice for Appellant

 Christopher Campos.
       3.      Undersigned counsel respectfully requests a 30 day extension of the deadline but

will nevertheless file the Petition for Discretionary Review on Monday, December 7, unless

instructed otherwise by the Court. .

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this Court grant this

Motion for Extension of Time to File the Petition for Discretionary Review and for such other and

further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.

                                             Respectfully submitted,
