      COMES NOW, ROBERT W. CORNWELL, Appellant herein, and moves

this court to issue an extension of time to file his appellant’s brief on petition for

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

                                             I.

      The opinion of the Ninth Court of Appeals in cause no. 09-13-00203-CR,

affirming the conviction, was rendered on October 8, 2014. Appellant’s Petition

for Discretionary Review was granted on February 11, 2015.

                                             II.

      The number and style of the case in the District Court is No. 12-08-08579-

CR, State of Texas v. Robert William Cornwell.

                                           III.

      Appellant was convicted of impersonating a public servant and sentenced to

two years’ imprisonment.

                                            IV.

      The present deadline for filing appellant’s brief is March 13, 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
