        Before the Court is appellant’s January 13, 2020 unopposed motion for extension of time

to file his petition for permissive appeal. Appellant seeks an extension from January 21, 2020,

the deadline under the rules of appellate procedure, to February 4, 2020. See TEX. R. APP. P.

4.1(a), 28.3(c).

        We DENY the motion. See id. 28.3(d) (allowing extension where petition has been

filed); see also id. 10.5(b)(1)(C) (requiring extension motion reasonably explain need for

extension); Garcia v. Kastner Farms, Inc., 774 S.W.2d 668, 670 (Tex. 1989) (defining

reasonable explanation). The petition remains due January 21, 2020.
