TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: 

COMES NOW TEVIN SHERARD ELLIOTT, Petitioner in the above-entitled and 

numbered cause, by and through his attorney of record, WILLIAM A. BRATTON III and, 

pursuant to TEX. R. APP. PROC. 68.2(c) and 10.5(b) requests the Court grant an additional two 

(2) days for filing the Petition for Discretionary Review herein. In support thereof, the Petitioner 

would respectfully show the Court as follows: 

MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW - Page 2 
1. That Petitioner timely forwarded the Petition for Discretionary Review to the Court 

of Criminal Appeals, but was advised that due to technical errors in the format of the petition, it 

would need to be corrected and resubmitted. 

2. No issues presented have changed between the current Petition for Discretionary 

Review and the previous Petition for Discretionary Review, which was timely forwarded to the 

Court of Criminal Appeals. 

3. Petitioner requests a two (2) day extension of time, until July 1, 2015 for filing 

Petitioner’s Petition for Discretionary Review. 

4. The Petitioner has made the requested corrections to the Petition for Discretionary 

Review and the corrected petition is being tendered concurrently with the filing of this motion. 

5. That no prior extensions of time have been requested or granted. 

6. It is based on these circumstances and in the effort to provide the Petitioner herein 

with effective representation of counsel in the appellate process pursuant to the Sixth and 

Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, and art. I, sec. 10, Tex. Const. Further, 

the request is made not for the purpose of delay, but so that justice may be done. 

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the petitioner prays that this Motion be in all 

things granted and that the Petitioner be given an additional two (2) days for the filing of the 

Petition for Discretionary Review.
