TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

       COMES NOW, John Terry, Appellant, by and through his appointed

attorney on appeal, Roger M. Nichols, pursuant to Rule 55, Rules of

Appellate Procedure, and files this MOTION FOR EXTENSION FOR

TIME TO FILE BRIEF OF APPELLANT, and support thereof, would show

the Court as follows:
                                                I.

      On August 14, 2014, in the above cause in the County Court at Law

Number Three of Travis County, a jury found Appellant guilty of Driving

While Intoxicated.

                                          II.

      On August 14, 2014, the trial court assessed the Appellant’s

punishment at ten (10) days in the Travis County Detention Center, together

with a fine of $1,500.00.

                                      III.

                                      IV.
