B. The original deadline for filing the Appellant’s P.D.R. in this cause was

January 18, 2015, which made it due on January 20, 2015;

C. A request is hereby made for an extension of time to file the Appellant’s

P.D.R., until and including February 18, 2015;

5) Joseph Jackson v. State of Texas; No. 14-15-00017-Cr; Appellant’s brief due February 25, 2015.

E. No previous extensions have been granted. If this extension is granted, the PDR

will be filed by February 18, 2015, and no further extensions will be required.

extend the deadline for filing the Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review in this
