    TO THE HONORABLE COURT:
    COMES NOW, MORRIS LANDON JOHNSON, II, Appellant and files this
    motion for extension of time in which to file Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary
    Review and in support thereof would show the Court as follows:
    1.      This is a request for extension of time to file a petition for discretionary review
    related to a judgment issued by the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Judicial District in
    Eastland. The case number in the Court of Appeals is 11-13-00174-CR.
    2.      This is an appeal from a judgment in the 266TH Judicial District Court.
    3.      The style of the case in the trial court was State of Texas v. Morris Landon
    Johnson, II, Cause No. CR 13895, 266th Judicial District Court, Erath County.
    3.      Judgment was entered on May 16th, 2013.
    4.      Appellant filed his notice of appeal on June 11th, 2013.
    5.      Eleventh Court of Appeals issued its opinion affirming the judgment of the trial
    court on June 5th, 2015.
    6.      The current deadline for Appellant to file a petition for discretionary review is

    appeal. Appellant requests an additional 30 days to make a final decision and possibly
