                                  JURISDICTION

    The Appellant's Petition-for Discretionary Review was refused, by this

Court, on February 4, 2015.     Therefore, the Appellant is within his 15 day
timeframe to file his motion for rehearing.

                                  QUESTION ONE

     Is testimony relating to extraneous offenses for motive, outweighed by

it''s prejudicial effect, when the extraneous offenses mislead the jury to
consider that the Appellant was being a violent person in nature?

     The State focused on the view that the testimony was relevant to demonstrate

Aguilar's state of mind as well as his motive for murdering the victim because
it showed that he was angry over the prospect of his girlfriend's having had
sexual relations with sutton.     Further, stating that this arguemnt took place

only a short time before Sutton'was found murdered, and Aguiler (finally)
admitted that he had been in Sutton's house on the day of the murder and had

seen Sutton's corpse there. See State's reply to Appellant's PDR, *1.
     The Appellant contends that the extraneous offense of the Appellant beating
Robbie, cutting her hair, and shooting threats at her for being a prostitute
is conpletely mislead under the Texas Rules of Evidence 403.     Not only was
this evidence not relevant, but it was completely misleading.     How could the
jury, being a layman, separate this line of testimony from the alleged motive
to kill.   One being violent towards his spouse does not prove motive to kill
Sutton.    Appellant contends that this Coourt should rehearing this issue and
grant rehearing for further proceedings.

                                   QUESTION TWO

     How can the thirteenth Court of Appeals erroneously rule that the highly

inflammatory photographs of Martinez's back, is not preserved, when the Appellant
sought to meet, destroy, or explain the photo's, after proper objection, does

                                       page
•not waive the error?

     The State contends that the Appellant has waived his complaint about

the admission of the photographs of the physical injuries he inflicted on
his ex-girlfrined because his objection at trial (that the photographs depocted
an unadjudicated offense) does not match his complaint on appeal (that the
photographs were unfairly prejudicial).   See State's reply to Appellant's
PDR, *3.

     The Appellant contends that this Court has held, .in the past, that he
can bring his contentions or claims on appeal, if at trial, Appellant tried
to meet, detroy, or explain erroneously admitted evidence does not waive
the error, nor does it render the error harmless.      See Clark v. State, 627
S.W.2d 693, 696 (Tex.Crim.App. 1981).
     Appellant implores that this court should grant rehearing just to simply
clarify the governing law on this claim beeuase at this point the Appellant
relies on govening law that allows him to appeal this issue, but, is being
overruled on other governing law in Texas.    Under this Court supervisory power,
the Court can make it plain as to the governing law, when perservation is
involved.   Therefore, this eliam should be granted.
                               QUESTION THREE

     The Apopellant only implores this Court to rehear this issue in the light
of the follwing question: In a legal sufficiency Standard, is the State's
burdin to prove each and every essential element taken away, when a Court
of Appeals' ruling, concluded that a rational jury properly weighed the testimony
and evidence at trial? Appellant believes that the State's burden is not
removed and this Court should grant rehearing-to further tell the State that
their duty under the legal insufficiency is to proof each and every element
of the charged offense.
                                     page 2
                                  PRAYER

     The Apellant Prays that this Court will rehear this case and GRANT rehearing
under the light of the Appellant's motion for rehearing, and Petition for
Discretionary Review, and brief's on Appeal.
