TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

      Comes now the State of Texas, by and through its State Prosecuting Attorney,

and respectfully submits to the Court its motion to extend the time for filing its

petition for discretionary review to and including the 15th day of May, 2015. It has

recently come to our attention that the record may not accurately reflect the testimony

that forms the basis of the opinion below. Additional time is required to determine if

this can be verified and, if so, what steps must be taken to correct the record. No

previous motions to extend the deadline for filing this petition have been filed.

      WHEREFORE, the State prays that its motion to extend the time for filing its

petition until May 15, 2015, be granted.

                                               Respectfully submitted,

                                                 /s/ John R. Messinger
