                                 THE STATE OF TEXAS


                      FROM THE ELEVENTH COURT OF APPEALS

                                       EASTLAND

                                  NO. 11-13-00213-CR

         APPEALED FROM TARRANT COUNTY CRIMINAL COURT THREE

                              TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS

                                TRIAL NUMBER 1170491

    MOTION TO EXTEND TIME OF FILING OF PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY

                    REVIEW TO THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS.

           This motion is brought by the Applicant GEOFFREY KEVIN PITCOCK, who
   moves the Court to permit him to file this Application late and would show the Court
   the following:

                                              I

          The opinion of the Court of Appeals is dated July 30, 2015. The correct
   statutory time for filing a Petition for Discretionary Review is within 30 days, August
   28, 2015.

          This motion is brought within 15 days of August 28, 2015.

                                             II.

           The attorney for the applicant has within the last 45 days served as chief
   counsel in two felony and several misdemeanor jury trials. The time and effort in the
   preparation of the aforementioned jury trials caused the counsel for the Applicant to
   not file the Petition for Discretionary Review within the 30 days. As a result of the
aforementioned activities counsel for Appellant, reasonably believes that the
Petitioner for Discretionary Review will be filed with this Court within thirty (30) days
of the August 28, 2015, date.

       The granting of this motion should not delay any action that would otherwise
take place.

       WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Applicant prays that this Court
grant this request to file the Petition for Discretionary Review.

                                            Respectfully submitted,



                                            /s/ Abe Factor_____________________
