                      MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
         TO FILE APPELLANT’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

        NOW COMES, the Appellant, RICHARD DOUGLAS BAILEY, and moves for an

extension of time to file the Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review in these cases, and in

support thereof would show the following:

                                                     I.

        a.      These cases arise out of Criminal District Court No. 1 of Dallas County, Texas under
                Cause Nos. F12-34478-H and F12-34479-H, styled State of Texas v. Richard
                Douglas Bailey. They are also pending in the Dallas Court of Appeals under case
                numbers 05-14-00885-CR and 05-14-00886-CR.

        b.      Appellant was convicted of Theft of a Firearm in cause number F12-34478-H and
                sentenced to 1 year state jail. Appellant was also convicted of Unlawful Possession
                of a Firearm in Weapon Free Zone in cause number F12-34479-H and sentenced to
                4 years imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The judgment
                date was June 17, 2014. On June 2, 2015, the Court of Appeals affirmed the
                convictions.

        c.      The deadline for filing the Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review is July 2,
                2015.

        d.      Appellant requests an extension until August 2, 2015, to file the Petition for
                Discretionary Review.

        e.      The reason for this request is that, in the last few weeks, counsel has been working
                on the following:
