      COMES NOW, JOSE MIGUEL GARCIA, Appellant herein, and moves this

court to issue an extension of time to file his petition for discretionary review, and

in support thereof would show the court as follows:

                                             I.

      The opinion of the Fifth Court of Appeals in cause nos. 05-13-01578-CR,

affirming the conviction, was rendered on May 29, 2015.

                                             II.

      The number and style of the case in the District Court is No. F-12-35086-I,

State of Texas v. Jose Miguel Garcia.

                                           III.

      Appellant was convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child.

                                            IV.

      The present deadline for filing the petition for discretionary review is June

28, 2015.

                                             V.

                                            VI.

      The reason for this request is that during the last few weeks counsel has been
