     Appellant’s First Motion for Extension of Time to File
               Petition for Discretionary Review.

    TO THE HONORABLE PRESIDING JUDGE AND ASSOCIATE JUDGES
    OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS:

              Appellant presents this First Motion for Extension

    of Time of Thirty Additional Days to File the Petition

    for Discretionary Review as follows:

              1. The Court of Appeals for the Thirteenth Judicial

    District       of   Texas   affirmed   the   conviction    of     the

    Appellant on April 2, 2015.

              2. The Petition for Discretionary Review is due to

    be filed by May 4, 2015.

              3. Appellant seeks an extension of 30 days, from

    the present deadline of May 4, 2015 to a new deadline

                                      1
of Wednesday, June 3, 2015, to file a Petition for

Discretionary Review.

    4.    No other extensions of time have been sought or

granted for a Petition of Discretionary Review in this

case.

    5.      The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas may

extend the time to file a Petition for Discretionary

Review.

          “After the filing and denial of Foster's motion
          for rehearing, Foster, after obtaining an
          extension of time from the Court of Criminal
          Appeals,   timely   filed    a   petition   for
          discretionary review on December 1, 2009. See
          Tex.R.App. P. 50.” Foster, v. State,320 S.W. 3d
          635 (Tex.Crim.App.2010)

    8. The grounds for this request are that the family

is trying to gather the funds in order to hire counsel

to file a Petition for Discretionary Review on behalf

of the Appellant.

            Conclusion and request for relief

                            2
     The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas should

extend the time to file the Petition for Discretionary

Review from May 4, 2015 until June 3, 2015.
