THE STATE OF TEXAS Appellee Eric Jarrod Williams, Appellant below respectfully submits this Motion for an Extension ofTime to File a Petition for Discretionary Review in the above styled and numbered causes.

### given a sentence ofTen years confinement in TDCJ and a $5,000 fine by theBench on June 14, 2013. The Bench ordered that the sentence be probated for a period of 

### ten years with 180 days to beserved as upfront time Inthe County Jail as a condition ofprobation and a $5000 fine.II. 

### On September 23, 2014, the Honorable 14th Court ofappeals denied relieffor Appellant, and affirmed thejudgmentof the trialcourt. TheMotion for Petitionfor Discretionary Review is due on December 22, 2014.

III. The facts relied upon to show good cause for this requested extension is as follows: • Appellant's attorneyat the time of appealwas court appointeddue to Appellantbeing indigent. On December 16, 2013 counsel accepteda new job with the County Attorney's Office. Appellant was notknowledgeable ofthis change until case was set for submission and wasn't aware of 

### counsel with drawing. 14th District Court OfAppeals never granted or denied counsel's motion to be removed from record or was appellant aware ofthis change to hire counsel. Appellant was never appointed another replacement counsel to continue this matter. • Appellantnow is in the phase ofconsulting with other attorneys for hire. Appellant is currently handling this caseon a Pro-se phase and isn't familiar with the laws and procedures ofappellant procedure. This will 

### require additional time toresearch and/or hire counsel, and file required motions in a timely manner.Appellant does need the time to read through and review all ofthe court documents and transcripts from the trial to prepare the motion for Petition for Discretionary review. The additional time requested is not sought solely for delay, nor sought frivolously, but will be ofgenuine assistance to Appellant in preparing Appellant's Motion Petition for Discretionary review and/or to hire counsel. Appellant worksout of town on full timejob during the week and doesn't have as much undivided time to consult with future counsel.

WHEREFORE, Appellant prays respectfully that the Honorable Court grant this Motion extendingthe time for filing a Petition forDiscretionary Review for Sixty days(60) or that this Court grantsuchadditional time as isjust andproper forAppellant to submit motion for Petition for Discretionary Review.Respectfully submitted, /s/Eric Jarrod Williams
