                   TRIAL COURT NO. 1869024
         APPELLANT'S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
   TO FILE APPELLANT'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
 TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:
       NOW COMES, ERIC SANTANA GUANCHE, Appellant in the above

 entitled and numbered cause, by and through his attorney of record, Rick Soliz,

 and submits this Motion for Extension of Time to file Appellant's Petition for

 Discretionary Review until April 18, 2015. For good cause, Appellant

 shows as follows.

       1.    This Court issued its opinion on December 16, 2014. On January 5,

 2015, Appellant’s motion for rehearing was filed and it was overruled on January



                                          1
15, 2015. This petition for discretionary review is due to be filed on or about

February 17, 2015. This motion for extension of time may be filed until the

deadline of March 1, 2015. This is Appellant's first request for an extension of

time to file Appellant's Petition for Discretionary Review.

      2.     The last thirty days, Appellant's counsel has had an extremely heavy

workload and out of town court business.

      3.     Furthermore, Appellant’s counsel was at a continuing education

seminar in Austin, Texas from January 16, through January 18, 2015.

      4.     This Motion is not made for delay, but to see that justice is done.

                                     PRAYER

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that the

deadline for filing of Appellant's Petition for Discretionary be extended to April

18, 2015, or a similar date this court deems appropriate.
