TO THE HONORABE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS:

      Applicant files this First Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File
Petition For Discretionary Review. In support of this motion, Applicant shows the
following:
      1.     The 359th Judicial District Court of Montgomery County, Texas,
rendered its judgment in State of Texas vs. Roberta Margaret Cook, Cause No. 12-03-
0258-CR, on May 22, 2014. The case was appealed to the Ninth District Court of
Appeals.
      2.     The Ninth District Court of Appeals at Beaumont, Texas, affirmed
the trial court’s judgment in Roberta Margaret Cook v. The State of Texas, No. 09-14-
00461-CR, on November 18, 2015.
      3.     Applicant’s Petition for Discretionary Review is due no later than
December 18, 2015.
      4.     Applicant is requesting a due date of February 26, 2016. This is
Applicant’s first request for an extension of time in this case.
      5.     Applicant relies on the following facts as a reasonable explanation for
the requested extension of time:
             1.     Applicant’s family has been undergoing an extreme health
crisis, which has been placed in the forefront of all else.
             2.     In light of the ongoing health crisis, Applicant has just recently
notified Counsel to go forward with the Petition for Discretionary Review.
      6.     The undersigned has conferred with opposing counsel, who indicated
there was no opposition to this request.
Therefore, Applicant prays the Court will grant the motion.
