                             Appellant's Motion to Extend the
                     Time for Filing a Petition for Discretionary Review

      To the Honorable Judges of said Court:

            Comes now Appellant, and respectfully requests that the time for filing a

      Petition for Discretionary Review in the above-styled and numbered cause be

      extended. In support of this motion Appellant would show:

            1. On April 28, 2016, Appellant's conviction was affirmed by the Second

      Court of Appeals in Cause No. 02-15-00181-CR styled Shamica Roberson v. The

      State of Texas.

            2. The present deadline for filing a Petition for Discretionary Review is June

      11,2016. Appellant respectfully requests an extension oftime until August 12,2016.
       3. No previous extension of time has been granted.

       4. Appellant would show the Court that a reasonable explanation exists for the

requested extension. Appellant is currently without funds to hire counsel, is without

legal representation and is preparing the Petition for Discretionary Review pro se.

Appellant has limited legal knowledge. Appellant must research and draft the issues

herself.

      Wherefore, premises considered, Appellant respectfully requests that the time

for filing a Petition for Discretionary Review be extended to August 12, 2016.

                                               Respectfully submitted,

                                               Shamica Roberson, Appellant
