             RULE 68.2(c) TEX.R.APP.P. ( To File PDR)
   On June 4,2015, Defendant filed his Motion Of Extention Of Time

Motion For Extention of Time to File PDR was GRANTED (60 days),
with effect from 6/10/2015 to 8/21/2015, unfortunately this Honor

able Court has not yet sent the Defendant's much needed Court rec
ords to him, Hence the Defendant is still inadequately equipped to
file his Motion For Rehearing,PDR Descretionary Review and the ST

ATE HABEAS CORPUS ART.11.07.

            IN WHICH TO FILE DESCRETIONARY REVIEW (PDR)

    The Defendant has not yet recieved his Court records shown on
the Designation of Records, Therefore the Defendant is at a disad
vantage to prepare a reasonable MOTION FOR TRIAL, PDR and ART.11.07
STATE HABEAS CORPUS because he is not a lawyer who has readily ac
cess to legal tools and resources.
    Hence, the Defendant contends that his cause will be undully
prejudiced without the GRANT of his Court records as shown on the
DESIGNATION OF RECORDS ON APPEAL. See, the enclosed copies of Def

endant's requests for Court records.

                               CONCLUSION
