as    follows:

01.     The Fourteenth Court of Appeals handed down its Opinion and

        Judgement in Jason Jackson v. State of Texas, No. 14-14-00150-CR,

        an appeal from the 176th District Court of Harris County, Texas,

        on April 16, 2015.

02.     Pursuant to the Rules of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure,

                                           -   1   -
      a Petition For Discretionary Review from said Judgement would

      be due to be filed in the Texas Court of Criminal     Appeals on
                Due Pa+c
      or before m& «•, 2015.

03.   Appellant, .Pro^Se, submits that ther are issues decided in that

      case which are appropriatefor consideration by this Court in
      a Petition For Discretionary Review.     Appellant has not and will

      not be able to devote the time necessary to fully research and

      present his argument by the aforesaid date:

           a)   Appellant is an inmate in the Texas Department of Crimi
           nal Justice, confined at the Coffield Unit in Tennessee

           Colony, Texas.    Appellant is now Pro Se.

           b)   Appellant learned of the Fourteenth Court of Appeals
           decision on or about April 23, 2015.

           c)   As of April 27, 2015, the Coffield Unit has gone on
           a biannual "lock-down" for a search of inmate^s property

           for contraband.   The Appellant's access to the Unit Law
           Library is restricted during this "lock-down".     The

           Appellant believes that the "lock-down" will last untilfe

           about May 20, 2015, or so thereabout.

           d)   Due to the sensitive and complex issue(s),,and the
           circumstaces of the unit "lock-down", which is beyofcnd the

           Appellant's control, the Appellant is seeking a sixty (60)
           day extention of time, extending from the time that the

           petition would be due at this time.

                                   -   2   -
           e)   Appellant does wish to continue his appeal Pro Se.

           f)   Appellant, through no fault of his own, has not had
           sufficent time to prepare his Pro Se petition for review.

04.   This extension is sought solely that Appellant may properly

      research and present his argument to this Court, and not for

      the purpose of delaying the determination of the case.

      WHEREFORE, Appellant prays the Court GRANT him an extension of

time, until June 29, 2015, in which to file his Petition For Discretion

ary Review in this case.

                                           Respectfully submitted,
