TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE' COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

motion, Petitioner would show the following:
I.
Petitioner was convicted in the 397th Judicial District Court of Grayson County,
Texas of the offense of Murder in cause number 41709 styled The State of Texas
vs. Terry Wayne Lee. Petitioner filed a Chapter 64 Motion For Testing Of
Forensic DNA evidence secured in relation to this conviction. After the trial
court denied said motion Petitioner appealed to The Fifth Supreme Judicial
Court of Appeals in Dallas, Texas which affirmed the trial court's denial
on April 14, 2015.
II.

Petitioner was not informed of the Court of Appeals decision in affirming the
trial court's denial until April 27, 2015. Since that time Petitioner has been
attempting to gain legal representation in this matter. My attorney Barrett
Keith Brown, has informed him he will not file the petition for discretionary
review. Petitioner asks for an extension of thirty (30) days to file this
petition.
