Royce William Tawater v. State of Texas

Summary

This document is a pro se motion by Royce William Tawater in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals seeking a 45-day extension to file petitions for discretionary review in two aggravated-assault and deadly-conduct cases. It also requests permission to file only an original copy of the petition because Tawater is indigent, incarcerated, and lacks access to a photocopier. The motion states that the appellate judgments were affirmed on February 4, 2015, and requests an extension through April 17, 2015.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the time for filing Tawater's petition for discretionary review should be extended through April 17, 2015.
2. Whether the court should suspend Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.3(b) and permit Tawater to file only an original copy of his petition for discretionary review.
