       The Appellant in this cause was convicted in the 71st District Court, Harrison County,

Texas in cause number 13-0315x for the offense of Credit Card or Debit Card Abuse. On July

                                                 II.

       The Reporter=s record was filed on November 18, 2014. The Appellant=s Brief is due on

or about February 20, 2015.

       The Appellant hereby requests an extension of time to file Appellant=s Brief.

       The undersigned counsel has been unable to devote sufficient time to the review of the

record, research and preparation of Appellant=s Brief for the following good and sufficient

reasons:
        The undersigned counsel is experiencing medical problems that have been explained in

his vacation letter dated December 17, 2014 (see attachment). In connection with this situation,

this counsel has had a recent illness over the past several days, and has been under a doctor’s

care. It is with this background that this counsel seeks this Honorable Court’s indulgence, and

respectfully and humbly seeks a further extension of time, of only one more week, to February

27, 2015; this counsel will make every effort to finish this brief, and have it filed, prior to that

date.

Appellant, respectfully prays that this Honorable Court extend the time for filing Appellant=s

Brief for an additional one (01) week, to February 27, 2015.
