STATE OF TEXAS                         §

             MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE PDR

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THIS COURT:

    Appellant Reginald Hutchins, through counsel, moves the Court to extend
time to file his petition for discretionary review until and including November
2, 2015 and shows:

   1. In cause number 01-14-00333-CR, the First Court of Appeals affirmed
      Mr. Hutchins’ conviction on September 3, 2015. The 30 day deadline
      for filing the petition is October 3, 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. Hutchins has made no previous request for an extension.

   In view of the foregoing, Mr. Hutchins asks the Court to extend time to file
for 30 days, or up to and including November 2, 2015. This request is made in
the interest of justice and effective assistance of counsel and not for purposes
of delay.

                                       RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,

        October 2, 2015
