                         Appellant's Motion to Extend the
                Time for Filing a Petition for Discretionary Review

To the Honorable Judges of said Court:

      Comes now Appellant, and respectfully requests that the time for filing a

Petition for Discretionary Review in the above-styled and numbered cause be

extended. In support of this motion Appellant would show:

         1. On January 21, 2015, Appellant's conviction was affirmed by the Fifth

Court of Appeals in Cause No. 05-14-00293-CR styled Israel Huerta v. The State of

Texas.

      2. The present deadline for filing a Petition for Discretionary Review is

February 20, 2015. Appellant respectfully requests an extension of time until April
20,2015.

      3. No previous extension of time has been granted.

      4. Appellant would show the Court that a reasonable explanation exists for the

requested extension. Appellant is currently incarcerated in the Texas Department of

Criminal Justice and has limited legal knowledge. Appellant must go to the unit law

library to research and draft the issues.

      Wherefore, premises considered, Appellant respectfully requests that the time

for filing a Petition for Discretionary Review be extended to April 20, 2015.

                                               Respectfully submitted,
