        LAURA KNIGHT
        Appellant
        v.

        THE STATE OF TEXAS
        Appellee

        APPELLANT'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW of the
        EIGHTH COURT OF APPEALS JUDGMENT in No. 08-12-00355-CR
        Affirming conviction in Cause No. 20090D02461 from the
        346th Judicial District Court ofEl Paso County, Texas
Dear Sir:

My name is Laura Knight and I am attempting to file a "pro-se" appeal for discretionary
review in your court.

I am in the process of developing and writing my appeal for discretionary review in your
court of my criminal conviction. I have discovered the difference between a "direct
appeal" as from my trial court to the 8th Court of Appeals and realized that your rules for
a discretionary appeal makes the appeal totally different from a direct appeal.

This is a learning process for me as 1am not an attorney. Nonetheless, I do not want to
lose my opportunity to be able to appeal my case to your court. I regret that I am not as
fast as an experience lawyer and I need time. I respectfully ask that you please allow me
to have a 4lh extension oftime as to the due date for filing an appellant's brief.
 I am working to make sure that my discretionary appeal complies with your rules and
 Texas law. I do not want to lose my appeal on a technical point.

 For the foregoing reason 1am not finish with my brief. I need more time to finish my
 brief and submit the same to your court. I am doing the best with what resources 1have.
 I am asking for an extension to meet my obligations with your appellate requirements.
 By this letter I request an extension ofat least 30 days to file my appellant's brief.
 Respectfully,

(^O^J^^^^T
 Laura Knight
