              MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME
               TO FILE A MOTION FOR REHEARING

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
     NOW COMES, Richard Lee Pollard, TDCJ-CID # 1934170, Appellant,
pro se, and on his own behalf files this his own "Motion, for an
Extension of Time to file a Motion for Rehearing," to this Most
Honorable Court, and in so doing will show the following, to wit:

                           I.    JURISDICTION

     This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter pursuant
to the Tex. Rules of Appellate Procedure, Rule 49.8, where this
Court may extend the time for filing a motion for rehearing if a
party files a motion complying with Rule 10.5(b) no later than 15
days after the last date for filing the motion for rehearing.

     Appellant's last date for filing his motion for rehearing
was on August 21, 2015, placing Appellant well with the required

fifteen (15) days after the last date to file a motion for rehear
ing, pursuant to Rule 10.5(b) accordingly.
                                II.   REASONING

     Appellant has learned that this Most Honorable Court

rendered an opinion in this cause on August 6, 2015, affirming

his conviction. Appellate was put on notice that "No substitute
counsel will be appointed." Appellate is stranded and on his very

own to understand and file for a motion for rehearing to this

Most Honorable Court.
                                                              ,/receivedN
                         (Page -1-, motion)                         AUG 2 6 2015
                                                                  THIRD COURT OFAPPEALS,
                                                              \       JEFFREY D. KYLE /
     Being such, and pursuant to Rule 10.5(b)(1), Appellant will
state for    the record    that:

    (A) The deadline for filing this request for an extension of
            time to file a motion for rehearing is September 6, 2015;

     (B) Appellant requests atleast ninety (90) days extension
            because Appellant has to attempt to advocate for himself
            now to this Court;

    (C) Appellant can only entertain and research in the unit law
            library during his off-duty hours which is approx. ten
     (lO)hours per week unless he can show that he has a deadline
            directly from a state or federal court warranting extra
            time. Appellate needs this extension to prepare and advocate
            properly; and,

    (D) Appellant has never asked for an extension of time in
            this matter.

    Appellant plans to show where this Most Honorable Court of

Appeals has decided an important question of law that conflicts

with another court of appeals and the Court of Criminal Appeals

on the same issue.

                            III.   PRAYER FOR RELIEF

    WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant PRAYS that this
Most Honorable Court GRANT this Motion for an Extension of Time

to File a Motion for Rehearing allowing Appellant ninety (90)
days to file because of his specific set of circumstances. In this
Appellant will forever PRAY.

                                             RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,

                             (Page -2-, motion)
