TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

       Comes now, the Appellant, pursuant to Rule 68.2(C), Texas Rules of Appellate procedure,

and files this motion for an extension of thirty (30) days in which to file Appellant's Petition for

Discretionary Review, and as grounds therefore, presents the following:

       1.      Appellant was convicted in cause number 1133069 in the 174th District Court of

               Harris County and was sentenced to Life in TDC. Appellant gave timely written

               notice of appeal. This case was assigned to the Fourteenth Court of Appeals in Case

               14-14-00015-CR. On 4/16/15, the Fourteenth Court of Appeals issued an Opinion

               affirming the conviction.

       2.      The Appellant's Petition for Discretionary Review is due .

       3.      Appellant's counsel has an active criminal defense trial practice and

averages three court appearances in either Harris County District or County courts per morning.

       4.      Appellant's counsel also has an active Criminal defense appellate practice

and is working on the following appeals and post conviction matters:

               a.      Marque Coleman vs. The State of Texas
               b.      Anthony Alegria vs. The State of Texas
               c.      Darius Brown vs. The State of Texas
               d.      In re: Darryl Carter

       5.      Appellant's Counsel would respectfully ask for a thirty (30) day extension.

       This request for extension is not for delay but for the reason that Appellant's counsel may

adequately discharge his responsibilities to Appellant and that justice may be done.

       WHEREFORE, Appellant prays that the Court will grant an extension until 5/6/15, in which

to file the Appellant's Petition for Discretionary Review in this matter.

                                               Respectfully submitted,
