      MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE PETITION FOR

*****************************************************************

                                    A. INTRODUCTION

       Appellant is Raul Garza Salazar; Appelle is State of Texas.

                          B. ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES

The Court has the authority under TEX.R.APP.P.4.5(c)(3) to grant Appellant
additional time to file his petition for review.

1.     The Petition for Discretionary Review is due on September 8, 2015.

2.     The length of the requested extension is 30 days, that is, until October 8, 2015.

3.     No prior extensions have been requested or granted.

                                            Page 1 of 5
4.    The reason for the extension is that counsel has been unable to talk to the
      client. Nor has he been able to talk to client’s family, who do not have a
      telephone. Counsel needs to talk to the client before taking further action.

                CONCLUSION AND REQUEST FOR RELIEF

     The Court of Criminal Appeals should extend the time to file a Petition for
Discretionary Review to October 8, 2015.

        The Court of Criminal Appeals should grant this Motion and allow the time to
file the Petition for Discretionary Review to begin to run on the date when the Court
of Criminal Appeals grants the Motion, if it does so.TEX.R.APP.P.4.5(d).

                                    C. PRAYER

      For these reasons, Appellant asks the Court to grant an extension of time to file
the Petition for Review.
