   TO THE HONORABLE TEXAS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

         1.        ADAN FLORES was convicted of five counts of aggravated assault

   of a child and one count indecency with a child by contact. He is appealing as an

   indigent.

         2.        The conviction was affirmed on September 30, 2015, in a

   memorandum opinion rendered by the Fourth Court of Appeals.

         3.        FLORES desires to petition for a discretionary review of his

   conviction and asks that the time to file his petition be extended until November

                                                                                    Page 11
