TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

      Pursuant to the Rules of Appellate Procedure, the State moves this Honorable

Court to extend the time for filing its Petition for Discretionary Review in this case to

and including the 19th day of February, 2015. The Court of Appeals reversed

Appellant’s conviction on December 18, 2014. No motion for rehearing was filed.

      The State is unable to file its petition by the January 20, 2015 deadline for the

following reasons: Counsel was out of town from December 19, 2014 - December 26,

2014, and counsel filed petitions for discretionary review in Gore v. State, PD-1639-

14 on January14, 2015, and Leming v. State, 06-13-00264-CR on January 16, 2015.
      WHEREFORE, the State prays that its motion to extend the time for filing its

petition for discretionary review until February 19, 2015, be granted.



                                             Respectfully submitted,



                                             /s/ Lisa C. McMinn
