                    APPELLANT’S PRO SE MOTION TO EXTEND TIME
                    TO FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

  TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

         COMES NOW ZACHARY BLAKE HERNANDEZ, pro se Appellant in the above-

  styled and numbered cause, and files this his Motion to Extend Time to File a Petition for

  Discretionary Review (“PDR”) and in support thereof would show this Court the following:

                                              I.

         Appellant was convicted of intoxication manslaughter in cause number CR38343 and

  punishment was assessed at five (5) years in prison. The Eleventh District Court of Appeals

  affirmed his conviction in case number 11-12-00348-CR on November 26, 2014. Appellant’s

  petition is now due on or before December 29, 2014.

         Appellant requests an additional sixty (60) day extension to prepare a pro se PDR.
Although Appellant consulted with undersigned counsel on one occasion, he has not yet

secured counsel in this matter.

                                                  II.

       Because good cause exists for the granting of this request, Appellant requests this Court

grant his request for an additional sixty (60) days to prepare and file his PDR.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant requests this Court extend the

deadline to file his PDR until February 17, 2015.

                                                         RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
