Review        with        this        court           from a final               judgment out of the 296th

District           Court of Collin County,                               Texas and affirmation on appeal

from        the     Fifth        District Court of Appeals in Dallas Texas under

cause numbers 296-81500-2012 and 05-13-00832-Cr respectively.

(TRAP)        allows        this           Court           to        suspend the rules for good cause

shown.            Petitioner              is        an indigent Texas state prisoner and has

no     access        to     any duplication equipment to provide the original

        3.         Petitioner        has absolutely no way to provide this Court

with     the        required        copies.           He has only one copy of the opinion

which        he     cannot     provide           with the Petition as it is needed for

further           court     review        if     he    is    denied       relief    from    the    Court   of

Criminal          Appeals.

        4.         Petitioner        in        exercising           his     First     Amendment right

of     access        to     courts        respectfully              moves this court to suspend

the     requirement           of     providing              the      original and eleven copies

of     the        Petition and        rule 68.4(i)                as he cannot meet the requir

ement of the copies and opinion..

        5.         Suspension        of the two rules will not hinder the review

proceedings           or     cause        any burden on any party.                    The opinion can

be     reviewed           electronically              and     the     Petitioner can be scanned

to be    reviewed by all Justices of                         the Court.

        6.        Wherefore,         Petitioner              respectfully           prays     this Court

to     suspend        rules        9.3(b)(1)           and        68.4(i)     which will give him

effective           and    meaningful access to the Courts in his Petitioner

for Discretionary Review.
