TO    THE    HONORABLE       JUDGE     OF   SAID      COURT:

       Comes now,       Tyler Leblanc,               TDCJ ID# 1969518,        Appellant Pro-Se

and Layman-At-Law,               and respectfully moves this Court for a time

extension to file his (PDR) Petition, for Discretionary Review.

Due to       lack of    time in filing his petitoin cause of being notified

late of the Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont.

Under the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 68.2 and 10.5 .

BACKGROUND:

       On November 17,            2014 Tyler Leblanc was sentenced by the 365th

District Court Hardin,County,                        Texas. Mr..Leblanc requested his .

counsel to file an appeal for him.                           In October 2015 Tyler Leblanc

was notified that there was never an appeal filed for him through

documentation from the Ruben M. Torres Units.                             Law Library computer

system. On October 30,                 2015 Mr.        Leblanc filed a motion for out of

time appeal and request for appeal attorney. He sent the paperqork

to his convicting District Court. That court asigned him Attorney

Russel J. Wright. On November 25, 2015 The Ninth District of Texas

Court of Appeal DISMISSED his appeal. Therefore the clock to file

Appellant's            PDR       starting on that date. Appellant was not notif

ied of the Appeal-Court's decision until December 10, 2015. Which

is 15 days after the decision and \ his alloted time to file his
PDR.

                                                     (Pg.l)       •
ARGUMENT:

     Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 68.2(a)"First petition. The

petition must be    filed within 30 days after either the day the a<

court of appeals'   judgment was rendered or the day the last timely

motion for rehearing or timely motion for en banc reconsideration

was overruled by the court of appeals."

     Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 68.2(c)"Extension of time.

The Court of Criminal Appeals may extend the time to file a petit

ion for discretionary review if a party files a motion complying

with Rule 10.5(b) no later than 15 days after the last day for

filing the petition. The Court of Criminal Appeals may extend the

time to file a response or reply if a party files a motion comply

ing with Rule 10.5(b) either before or after the response or reply

is   due."

      Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(1)(A)(C)&(3)(A)(B)(C)

(D)"(1)Contents of motion in general. All motions to extend time,

except a motion to extend time for filing a notice of appeal, must

state:(A)the deadline for filing the item in question;(C) the facts

relied on to reasonablyyexplain the need for an extension" Rule 10

.5"(3) Contents of motion to extend time to file petition for rev

iew or petition fo rdiscretionary review.    A motion to extend time

to file a petition .for review or petition for discretionary review

must also specify: (A) the court of appeals; (B) the date of the

court of appeals'    judgment; (C) the case number and style of the

case in th ecourt of appeals; and (D) the date every motion for r

rehearing or en banc reconsideration was filed, an deither the date

and nature of the court of appeals' ruling on th emotion,or that

it remains pending.

      Answers to Rule 10.5 (3)(A) The appellant's case was filed in
                                (Pg.2)
the Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont.           (B) The

Court'of Appeals'        judgement was rendered on November 25,2015.      (C)

The styled case in the listed, court was an Appeal.        The Case No's,

were   09-15-00439-CR;     09-15-00440-CR;   09-15-00441-CR.   The case    ..:

numbers were all listed together.(D) There is no motions filed to

request a rehearing in the Court of Appeals of the Ninth District.

       Appellant recieved documentation of the order from the Court

of Appeals on December 10, 2015. Which is fifteen days after the

signed order. That being Appellant only had 30 days to file his

PDR the due date being on December 25, 2015.

       Appelant needs time to properly research and compile his PDR.

Due to the late timing in him recieving the ORDER and that Appelant

is filing everything Pro-Se and that he is a Layman-At-Law, it is

unreasonable to conclude that he can fully'and adequately file his

PDR in the allotted time goverend by Rule 68,2

PRAYER:

       Appellant respectfully requests for this Honorable Court to

extend his time [45] Forty-Five days after December 25,2015 so he

can adequately prepare his PDR. Appelant has never recieved a time

extension before in this matter concerning his PDR.
