 April 29, 2015
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      APPELLANT, pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2(c) moves for an extension of

time within which to file its petition for discretionary review.       In support of its

motion, appellant submits the following:

      1.     Appellant was charged with the felony offense of intoxication assault.
      2.     A jury convicted appellant of the charged offenses and sentenced him to
             5 years community supervision on October 15, 2013.
      3.     A unanimous panel of the First Court of Appeals rendered judgment in
             an unpublished opinion on March 26, 2015, affirming appellant’s
             conviction and sentence.
      5.     Appellant’s petition for discretionary review was due April 27, 2015.
      6.     Appellant seeks an extension, in accordance with TEX. R. APP. P.
             68.2(c), until May 27, 2015, to file its petition for discretionary review.
             This is appellant’s first request for an extension.
      9.     The following facts are relied upon to show good cause for the
             requested extension:
             a. Counsel has been working on the appellate briefs in Dorsey v. State,
                No. 01-14-00685-CR., Hayes v. State, 04-14-00878-CR. and 04-14-
                00879-CR., and Ross v. State, 01-14-00902-CR.
             b. Counsel filed a petition for discretionary review in Williams v. State,
                No. 01-14-00165-CR on April 29, 2015.
             c. Counsel has filed a writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme
                Court in Masterson v. Stephens.
             d. Appellant’s petition is not for purposes of delay, but so that justice may
                be done.

                                           2
      WHEREFORE, the Appellant prays that this Court will grant the requested

extension until May 27, 2015.

                                 Respectfully submitted,
