Appellant will show as follows:

                                        I.

      The Court of Appeals for the First District of Texas rendered Opinion in this


                                        1
cause on April 23, 2015. Per Tex. R. App. P. 49.1, Appellant may file a motion for

rehearing within fifteen days of the court’s judgment or order.

                                         II.

      In the past 20 days, counsel for Appellant has not had the time to prepare a

Motion for Rehearing due to the following reasons:

      1. Counsel for Appellant was preparing and had a hearing on a Motion For

         New Trial in the 174th District Court in the State of Texas vs. Miguel

         Gomez; Harris County Cause No. 1358720.

      2. Counsel for Appellant was preparing for trial set on May 4, 2015 in the

         State of Texas vs. Gary Kincannon; Montgomery County Cause

         No.14-296632.

      3. Counsel for Appellant had multiple day long court settings requiring

         travel.

             a. State of Texas vs. Kristine Noffsinger; Williamson County, Cause

                   No. 13-0793-K277.

             b. State of Texas vs. Jarrett Justice; Leon County, Cause No. CM

                   13-483.

                                        III.

      Due to the above information, Counsel has not had adequate time to review


                                         2
the Opinion and prepare a Motion for Rehearing.

                                       IV.

      Appellant is requesting a twenty (30) day extension to file a Motion for

Rehearing.

                                   PRAYER

the deadline for filing of Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing be extended for thirty

(30) days.
