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 29th day of June, 2015. The court

of appeals’s opinion was not forwarded to this office until two weeks after it was

issued, and the additional time requested will provide the full thirty days to complete

the petition. No previous motions to extend this deadline have been filed.

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

petition until June 29, 2015, be granted.



                                                Respectfully submitted,


                                                  /s/ John R. Messinger
