                           COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS

           JAY SANDON COOPER

           v.
                                                                                              rA- ^
           STATE OF TEXAS

                MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING

                   NOW COMES JAY SANDON COOPER, and makes this first motion to

           extend the time to file a motion for rehearing. In support thereof, Mr. Cooper

           shows:

           1.      This Court refused Defendant's Petition for Discretionary Review on June

           24, 2015. Fifteen days thereafter would be July 9, 2015, on which date Defendant

           expects that his Motion for Rehearing or this Motion to Extend Time should be

           due.

           2.      Defendant seeks an extension of thirty (30) days, to August 8, 2015.

           3.      Defendant was released from the Collin County Jail on June 30, 2015, and

           did not learn of this Court's refusal of his PDR until a date thereafter. During his

           incarceration of 14 days, Defendant was unable to stay abreast of recent court

           rulings that might impact this case.          As well, because of his confinement,

           Defendant was unable to stay current on this and other cases, and needs some

           additional time to do justice with this and other pending cases.

4.    Because Defendant was arrested not for DWI, but for refusing to participate

in roadside field sobriety tests that are not required by law, Defendant anticipates

briefing this Court on an extension of the landmark case: Miranda v. Arizona. 384
U.S. 436, 86 S. Ct. 1602, 16 L. Ed. 2d 694 ... (1966).

5.    There have been no previous extensions sought or granted to file

Defendant's Motion for Rehearing in this case.

PRAYER

6.    Defendant requests that this Court grant an extension of thirty (30) days to

August 8, 2015, for Defendant to file his Motion for Rehearing.

July 8, 2015.

Respectfully submitted,
