COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS
RUBEN GARCES, Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
On Appeal from the 118th District Court
of Glasscock County, Texas
Cause No. 432 (Hon. D. Timothy Yeats)
and
May 28, 2015 NO. 11-13-00085-CR
from
THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
EASTLAND, TEXAS
APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:
Counsel for Appellant Garces initiated a draft envelope for filing the PDR
in the instant cause with efiletexas.gov prior to midnight on the 27th day of May,
2015, the extended due date, but his computer froze and counsel had to re-open it.
Consequently, the envelope reflects filing at twenty-four (24) seconds after
midnight on May 28, 2015.
Accordingly, counsel comes hat in hand and prays for a one (1) day
extension, which would make the Petition for Discretionary Review due on May
28, 2015. This is the second extension request for filing Appellant’s Petition for
Discretionary Review. (P.S. The draft envelope for the PDR reflects only service to
the State Prosecuting Attorney, but the undersigned e-mailed it to the Glasscock
County D.A. at hardy.wilkerson@howardcountytx.com.)
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays this Court
enters an order extending the deadline for filing his Petition for Discretionary
Review for one (1) day.
Respectfully Submitted,
/s/Rick Dunbar________________
