May 1, 2015                              VS.

                         THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

              The Fourteenth Court of Appeals Case No. 14-13-00518-CR

              APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
              TO FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

       COMES NOW, LISA ANN BARFIELD, Appellant in the above-styled and

numbered cause, by and through her Counsel of Record, BRITTANY CARROLL

LACAYO, and files this her Motion to Extend to File a Petition for Discretionary

Review and in support thereof would show this Court the following:

                                          I.

       Appellant was convicted of Driving While Intoxicated. The Fourteenth Court

of Appeals affirmed the conviction in an opinion filed April 2, 2015. Petitioner did

not file a Motion for Rehearing. Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review is

currently due to be filed by May 4, 2015. This is Appellant’s first request for an

extension of time. Appellant requests an extension of forty-five (45) days to file the

petition.
       Undersigned counsel was retained and filed an appearance of counsel at the

time of filing this motion for extension of time. Counsel has had insufficient time to

prepare a petition. For this reason, counsel requests this extension of time to prepare

and file her petition.

                                          II.

       This request is not made for the purpose of delay, but rather this request is

made to allow counsel adequate time to prepare Appellant’s Petition for

Discretionary Review.     Appellant moves this Court for an order granting an

extension of forty-five (45) days, or until June 18, 2015 for Appellant to submit the

Petition for Discretionary Review in this case.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant moves this Court

for an order granting an extension of forty-five (45) days, for Appellant to submit

the Petition For Discretionary Review in this case.

                                                Respectfully submitted,
