             FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
                  PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

  TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:
    COMES NOW, DAVID SAMARIPAS JR. ,Petitioner, and filees this ®e>
Motion for an Extension of Sixty Days -60- in which to file a
Petition for Discretionary Review. In support of this motion
Appeallant will show the Court the following:

                                              1-
    The petitioner was convicted in the Brazos County Court,
272nd District, for the offense of Engaging in Organized Crime.
Styled:STATE OF TEXAS VS DAVID SAMARIPAS JR. The Petitioner
appealed to the 10th Court of Appeals, but was later transferred
to the 13th Circuit pursuant to a docket, equalization order
issued by the Supreme Court of Texas. This case was affirmed
on April 30th., 2015.

                                             •2.   •
    The present deadline for filing the Petition for Discretio
nary Review is May 30th, 2015. The Petitioner has not requested
any extension prior to this request,

                                              3.
     Petitioners request for an Extension is based upon the
follov/ing facts: Petioner was not informed of the Court of Appeals
affirming until May S-th, 2015. Although appeallant attorney did
mail letter in timely fashion the T.D.C.J, mail room did not get
letter to petitioner until the :8i.th., it was certified and I had
to sign. Furthermore in this letter, petitioners                 attorney,
Mr. Richard Wetzel informed petitioner that this                 letter would
conclude his representation, and he would not be                 filing a PDR
on appeallants behalf. Petitioner is attempting.,                along with the
help of his Family, to obtain legal representation in this matter
    Petitioner has since mailed out numerous letters, and is
awaiting responses,, and to hear from Family on phone calls they've
made. Petitioner has no formal schooling, training, skills, or
expertise in the law, or the appeal process. It is simply taking
some time to find a lawyer within petitioners Family's budget, and
communication from prison to outside world has taken up chunks
of the time allowed.

                                & *f (£>
    WHEREFORE, all things considered , Petitioner PRAYS this
HONORABLE COURT -GRANT- this Motion and EXTEND the deadline for
filing this Petition for Discretionary Review in Cause No:
