      COMES NOW, DETRA PHILLIPS WEBSTER, Appellant herein, and

moves this court to issue an extension of time to file his petition for discretionary

review, and in support thereof would show the court as follows:

                                             I.

      The opinion of the Fifth Court of Appeals in cause no. 05-12-00854-CR,

affirming the conviction, was rendered on December 8, 2014.

                                             II.

      The number and style of the case in the District Court is No. F10-60721-Q,

State of Texas v. Detra Phillips Webster.

                                            III.

      Appellant was convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and

sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment.

                                            IV.

      The present deadline for filing the petition for discretionary review is March

10, 2015.

                                             V.

      No extensions of time to file the brief were previously requested.

                                            VI.

      The reason for this request is that during the last few weeks counsel has been

working on the following:
