                                                  Attorney for Appellant

                                                  January 15, 2014
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS:

        NOW COMES, WYDELL LORRAINE DIXON, and files this Motion To

Extend Time To File Petition For Discretionary Review. In support of this motion, he

would respectfully show the Court the following:

                                                I.

        In a PUBLISHED opinion delivered December 16, 2014, a panel of the First Court

of Appeals AFFIRMED Appellant’s appeals from four judgments of conviction for cruelty

to animals by the 56th District Court of Galveston County. Appellant did not file a motion

for rehearing. Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review is due on January 16, 2014.

This motion to extend time to file petition for discretionary review is timely filed within

thirty days after the court of appeals issued its opinion or overruled Appellant’s Motion for

Rehearing or within fifteen days of said deadline. See TEX. R. APP. PROC. 68.2.

                                               II.

        Appellant is requesting additional time to file the petition for discretionary review.
More time is necessary to research the issues involved.

                                               III.

        Appellant asserts that this motion is not made solely for purposes of delay and that

the granting of this motion will not prejudice the rights of the State.
                                              IV.

        Appellant is therefore requesting a thirty [30] day extension so that his Petition may

be timely filed.

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that the

Honorable Court of Criminal Appeals will grant his Motion To Extend Time To File

Petition For Discretionary Review.

                                                                Respectfully submitted,
