       APPLICANT'S MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
       OBJECTIONS   TO THE TRIAL   COURT'S   JANUARY 22, 2015
       FINDING OF FACT AND-CONCLUSIONS OF LAW BASED ON NEW
       CASE LAW DECIDED BY THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED
       STATES.



       COMES NOW, Gonzalo Hernandez, the Ap.p-licant·herein, and timely

requests an Extension of Time in which to prepare and file object-

ions to the trial court's finding of fact and conclusions of law.

In support thereof, Applicant would show:


                                   I

       Upon a plea of not guilty, a Dallas Countyj Texas jury found

Applicant guilty to the offense of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a

Child. The offense was. alleged to have occurred on or about    Aug~


ust 7, 2010. The same jury sentenced Applicant to 40 years im-

prisonment. The Dallas Court of Appeals affirmed the judgement of

the trial court on March 21, 2014 in an unpublished opinion. No

.Petition for Discretionary Review was prosecuted.


                                   II

       Applicant has never been previously convicted of a felony
and is proceeding pro se in the above styled habeas corpus app-

lication.


                                     III

          At the time of Applicant's appeal    he·w~s   unaware of the

Supreme Court decision announced in Martinez v Ryan,             u.s.
132 s.ct. 1309, 162 L.Ed.2d 272 (2012), providing for the assist-

ance of counsel in collateral ineffective assistance of counsel

claims that are no longer available on direct appeal.


                                      IV

          The follow-up case, announced one year later in Trevino v

Thaler,        u.s.       133 s.ct. 1911, 185 L.Ed.2d 1044 (2013),

determined that Martinez applied to Texas cases.


                                      v
          Accordingly, Applicant would like the    opport~1ity   to re-

guest the appointment of counsel in the trial       cou~t   so that counsel

can review the entire trial proceedings (Applicant had to file his

habeas corpus without benefit of reviewing the record) in         su~port


of Applicant's ineffective assistance of trial counsel claims.


          Wherefor,   for these reasons Applicant prays the Honorable

Court of Criminal•Appeals will grant Applicant 30 days in which to

submit his objections.

                                      Respectfully Submitted.
