               THE STATE OF         TEXAS,    Appellant,             moves for an    extension

of SIXTY (60)          days in which to file a P.D.R.                       pursuant to TEX.

               Pursuant to      TEX.    R.    APP.          P.   10.5(b),   Appellant,     moves

 this Court to         allow an       extension of               SIXTY   (60)   days to   file

 his brief.         Appellants convictions were affirmed by the

 Fourteenth Court of Appeals on May 5th,                              2016 and pursuant to

 TEX.    R. APP.      P. 6B.    Appellant is preparing his petition for

 discretionary         review
                                           II.
REQUIRED    INFORMATION          PURSUANT       TO    THE    RULES       OF    APPELLATE
                                   PROCEDURE

   The   deadline     for      filing     the    extension.          TEX.       R.   APP.    P.   10.5
   (b) (1 )(A) : June       5,    2016.
           TEX. R.    APP. P.       3B.6(D):"A motion to extend the time
           to file    a brief       may be filed before or after the date
           the    brief   is     due."

   The length of   the extension sought.                          TEX.    R.    APP.   P. 10.5(b)
   (1 )(B) : Sixty (60) days.

   The   facts relied upon to reasonably explain the need for
   the   extension. TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b)(1)(B):
          Appellant has no experience in pro se litigation and
          is working with jailhouse lawyers to get some
          assistance in this matter. Additionally, Appellant is
           attending the Beto Unit law library to hopefully
           prepare a congent P.D.R. in this matter. The sixty
           (60)   days extension should be                    adequate to            complete the
           P.D.R.

   Number of previous extensions granted for previous                                       Motions
   for Extension. TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b)(1)(D): NONE

                                          III.

   The   additional       time     requested is             not sought solely for delay

 nor sought frivolously,             but will          be    of    genuine       assistance        to

 Appellant's       preparing       petition          for    discretionary            review.
    WHEREFORE,   Appellant prays that the Court grant this

Motion and modify and extend the deadliine for filing

Appellant's petition for discretionary review to July 27, 2016,

or that this Court grant such additional time as is just and_

proper.

                                  Respectfully submitted,
