                        Attorney for James Dwayne Hoisager

September 30, 2015
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

      NOW COMES James Dwayne Hoisager, Appellant in the above styled and

numbered cause, through counsel David K. Chapman, his retained attorney of record,

and respectfully files this Motion for Extension of Time to File his Petition for

Discretionary Review. As grounds for granting this Motion, Appellant would show

the Court:

                                         I.

      The deadline for filing this Petition is September 28, 2015.

                                         II.

      Appellant asks that he be given an additional thirty (30) days to file the

petition, making it due on or before October 28, 2015.

                                        III.

      No previous extensions of time have been requested, granted, or denied.

                                        IV.

      Appellant’s counsel is raising two time-consuming issues. One complains of

a double jeopardy violation. The other attacks the State’s improper amendment of the

indictment, barred by Tex. Code Crim. P. 28.10. Counsel has finished the greater part

of his preparation of his double jeopardy argument but needs additional time to

review and revise it. Despite spending many hours on both issues, counsel needs

                                          1
significant additional time to complete the amendment issue. Also, during the past

month, counsel spent many hours in the courts of Karnes County and working on the

his cases pending in those courts.

                                          V.

        This Petition is on appeal from cause number 03-13-00328-CR in the Third

Court of Appeals at Austin, which entered its judgment of affirmance on July 17,

2015.

                                          VI.

        Appellant filed his motion for rehearing on August 3, 2015. The Court denied

the motion on August 28, 2015.

        PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that the Court grant this request

for an additional thirty (30) days to file his petition for discretionary review.

                                                Respectfully submitted,

                                                /s/ David K. Chapman
