        COMES NOW, FREDRICK CARSON, Appellant herein, and moves this

court to issue an extension of time to file his petition for discretionary review, and

in support thereof would show the court as follows:

                                               I.

        The opinion of the Fifth Court of Appeals in cause no. 05-14-00376-CR,

affirming the conviction, was rendered on June 8, 2015

                                              II.

        The number and style of the case in the District Court is No. F-1354167-P,

State of Texas v. Fredrick Carson.

                                             III.

        Appellant was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life

imprisonment.

                                              IV.

        The present deadline for filing the petition for discretionary review is July 8,

2015.

                                              V.

                                              VI.

        The reason for this request is that during the last few weeks counsel has been
