                            Appellee
On Appeal in Case Number CR11-0908, from the 207th District
Court of Hays County, the Hon. Jack H. Robison, Judge Presiding


   Unopposed Motion for Leave to File
    Out-of-Time Motion for Rehearing

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

    COMES NOW, Robbie Dale Walker, Appellant in the above

styled and numbered cause, by and through John G. Jasuta, his

undersigned attorney of record, and respectfully files this

“Unopposed Motion for Leave to File Out-of-Time Motion for

Rehearing” and in support of such Motion would show the Court:

                                I

    Appellant was charged by indictment with the offense of theft

over $200,000, a first (1st) degree felony, in Cause No. CR11-0908
in the 207th District Court of Hays County, Texas.          He was

convicted in said cause and was sentenced to twenty-five (25)

years in prison. Notice of Appeal was timely given on April 29,

2013. The Court affirmed his conviction on May 29, 2015. Motion

for rehearing should have been filed on or before June 15, 2015.

                                 II

    Counsel was required by Rule 48, Tex.R.App.Pro., to provide

Appellant with a copy of the Court’s opinion, and notify him of his

right to file a pro se petition for discretionary review under Rule

68, Tex.R.App.Pro. Counsel failed to send the required letter.

Counsel is, therefore, requesting permission to file an out-of-time

motion for rehearing in order to have sufficient time to properly

notify Appellant as to his right to seek discretionary review, and to

ensure that Appellant has such time and is provided that

opportunity, without the need to seek habeas corpus relief under

Article 11.07 § 3, et seq., C.Cr.P., which relief would surely be

granted. The undersigned would show that motion for rehearing

is being filed contemporaneously to this motion.
                               IV

    The undersigned has conferred with Mr. Chris Johnson,

counsel of record for the State.    Neither he nor his office is

opposed to Appellant’s “Unopposed Motion for Leave to File

Out-of-Time Motion for Rehearing” being granted.

                            Prayer

    WHEREFORE,        PREMISES       CONSIDERED,          Appellant

respectfully prays that this Honorable Court to grant this motion

in all things and permit the Motion for Rehearing, filed of even

date herewith, to be filed and considered by the Court.

                           Respectfully submitted,
