 FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE' COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

Comes now, Terry Wayne Lee, pro se petitioner, and files this Motion For

Extension Of Time To File Petition For Discretionary Review. In support of this
motion, Petitioner would show the following:

                                           I.

Petitioner was convicted in the 397th Judicial District Court of Grayson County,
Texas of the offense of Murder in cause number 41709 styled The State of Texas

vs. Terry Wayne Lee. Petitioner filed a Chapter 64 Motion For Testing Of

Forensic DNA evidence secured in relation to this conviction. After the trial

court denied said motion Petitioner appealed to The Fifth Supreme Judicial
Court of Appeals in Dallas, Texas      which affirmed the trial court's denial

on April 14, 2015.

                                          II.

The present deadline for filing the Petition For Discretionary Review is May 14,
2015. Petitioner has not requested any extensions prior to this request.
                                     III.

Petitioner's request for an extension is based on the following facts;

Petitioner was not informed of the Court of Appeals decision in affirming the

trial court's denial until April 27, 2015. Since that time   Petitioner has been

attempting to gain legal representation in this matter. My attorney Barrett

Keith Brown, has informed him he will not file the petition for discretionary

review. Petitioner asks for an extension of thirty (30) days to file this

petition.

WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this Court grant this motion and extend the dead

line for filing this petition for discretionary review in case No. 05-14-01241-CR

to June 13,   2015.

                                                       Respectfully submitted,
