                                                                    FILED IN

                                                                   APR 01 2015

                          MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

                                        TO FILE

                           MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

TO:   THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE
      TEXAS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

       COMES NOW, Walter A. Hamilton/ Applicant in the above-styled and numbered
Cause, hereinafter "Hamilton"/ proceeding in propria persona, pursuant to the
Authority of T.R.A.P. 10.5(b) and 79.6/ in conjunction with the Due Process
and Due Course of Law Protections and guarantees of the United States and Texas
constitutions/ and respectfully request that this Honorable Court enter an
Order directing that the deadline to file a Motion For Rehearing in the above-
styled and numbered Cause be extended for Thirty (30) days, up to and including
May 1/ 2015/ and in support would respectfully show this Honorable Court as
follows:

       1.) Hamilton filed his Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus on March 13/
2013/ pursuant to Texas Code Of Criminal Procedure/ Art. 11.07

       2.) The Trial Court made its Order Designating Issues on April 4, 2013.
       3.) The trial Court made its recommendations on October 22/ 2013.
       4.) This Honorable Court received Hamilton's Application on October
29/   2013.

       5.) On March 18/ 2015 this Honorable Court handed down its Opinion. The
Court found that Hamilton received multiple punishments in violation of the
Double Jeopardy clause and GRANTED relief/ thereby setting aside Count 2 in
Cause Number 2006-CR-3927. However/ the Court denied all other relief.

       6.) The Court's Opinion was mailed via Truck Mail which was not received
by Hamilton until March 26, 2015 when it was delivered to him by Prison Mailroom
Personnel.

       7.) The present deadline for filing a Motion For Reconsideration in this
Case is April 2, 2015. See T.R.A.P. 79. This current deadline would allow
Hamilton only Four (4) days of access to the Unit Law Library. The Double
Jeopardy issues are complex as well as others. This extra time is needed in
order for Hamilton to put forward a meaningful Motion For Rehearing.
       8.) Hamilton seeks a 30 day extension in order to research these issues/
up to and including May 1, 2015. Hamilton has not made any previous requests
for an extension of time to file his Motion For Reconsideration/Rehearing.

      WHEREFORE/ Hamilton respectfully moves and prays that this Motion be duly
considered by this Honorable Court and/ thereafter GRANTED.

                                                  Respectfully submitted/
