3. A unanimous panel of the First Court of Appeals rendered judgment in an unpublished opinion on March 12, 2015, affirming appellant’s conviction and sentence.

5. Appellant’s petition for discretionary review is due April 13, 2015. 6. Appellant seeks an extension, in accordance with TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2(c), until May 13, 2015, to file its petition for discretionary review. This is appellant’s first request for an extension.

9. The following facts are relied upon to show good cause for the requested extension: a. Counsel has been working on the appellate briefs in Dorsey v.

State, No. 01-14-00685-CR., Hayes v. State, 04-14-00878-CR. and 04-14-00879-CR., and Ross v. State, 01-14-00902-CR.

b. Counsel has filed a writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court in Masterson v. Stephens.

c. Appellant’s petition is not for purposes of delay, but so that justice may be done.

WHEREFORE, the Appellant prays that this Court will grant the

requested extension until May 13, 2015.

Respectfully submitted,
