                                        I.

     The Petitioner was convicted in the 177th District Court of Harris Goun-iv
tyjTexas of the offense of possession of a controlled substance in Cause No.
1325799,Styled State of Texas vs. Jose Garza. The Petitioner appealed to the
Court of Appeals,Fourteenth Court Supreme Judicial District. The case affirmed
on March 27,2014.

                                        II.

Banc Consideration.

                                            IV.


      Appellant is requesting an extension of time so that the Appellant may
file a pro se Petition for Discretionary Review. An extension of time.is nece=
ssary so that the Appelant, who is not an attorney, may familialize himself .1
with the rules governing the filing of a petition for discretionary review,ad-
quately research his case,and draft his own PDR. This motion is not made for
the purpose of delay.
     Wherefore,Premises Considered,Appellant prays that this Honorable Court
grant this requested extension of time to file the Appellant's Petition for I.i
Discretionary Review in the above cause and extend the time for filing the pe
tition until March 16,2016 (60 days).
