                         TIMOTHY JAMES LINDBERG, Appellant,
                                                 v.

                                 STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

          APPELLANT'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO EXCEED WORD LIMIT

         TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS:

                NOW COMES Appellant, Timothy James Lindberg, by and through

         his attorney of record Brian W. Salvant, and files this Motion for Leave to

         Exceed the Word Limit for a petition for discretionary review under Tex. R.

         App. Proc. 9.4(i)(2)(D), and in support thereof would respectfully show the

         following:

                                                  I.

                Under Tex. R. App. Proc. 9.4(i)(2)(D), a petition for discretionary

          review to this Court must not exceed 4,500 words if computer-generated.

                                                  II.

                Appellant's Petition for Discretionary Review, filed this day with this

          Motion, is 9,317 words in length, excluding the contents that are not to be

          included in calculating the length of a document pursuant to Tex. R. App.

          Appellant's Motion for Leave to Exceed Word Limit
Proc. 9.4(i)(l). Said Petition presents six questions/grounds for review.

                                      III.

      Appellant's counsel believes his Petition for Discretionary Review is

not unnecessarily lengthy and articulates the questions/grounds presented for

review and the arguments in support thereof in a concise but thorough

fashion. Reducing the length of the Petition to conform with the word limit

set by Tex. R. App. Proc. 9.4(i)(2)(D) would severely undermine

Appellant's arguments and prevent him from completely developing his case

to this Court for review.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant respectfully

requests that this Court grant him leave to exceed the word limit for his

petition for discretionary review and therefore prays that this Court grant this

Motion and allow him to file his Petition for Discretionary Review as is.

                                              Respectfully submitted,
