                       MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO
                FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

       Now comes ASEL ABDYGAPPAROVA, Appellant in the above styled and

numbered cause, and moves for an extension of time of 20 days to file a petition

for discretionary review, and for good cause shows the following:

       1.       On JUNE 4, 2015, the Court of Appeals affirmed appellant's

conviction. ASEL ABDYGAPPAROVA v. State, 04-14-00393-CR. This petition

is therefore due on July 26, 2015.

       2.       Counsel has been unable to complete the petition for the following

reasons: Counsel has had trouble contacting the appellant. Also, this counsel has

been involved in an accelerated CPS appeal. Further, counsel has been preparing

for two trials.

       3.       Defendant is currently incarcerated.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, appellant respectfully

requests an extension of 20 days, i.e. until July 26, 2015, to file a petition for
discretionary review.

                                      Respectfully submitted,
