                       APPELLANT’S FIRST MOTION FOR
                      EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

       COMES NOW, Daniel Vadnais, by and through his attorney of record, Dal

Ruggles, and files this, his First Motion for Extension of Time to File Brief, and in

support thereof would show the Court the following:

                                           I.

       That the above styled and numbered cause is styled The State of Texas v. Daniel

Vadnais, Cause Number CR-13-0651 in the 22nd Judicial District Court of Hays County,

Texas. Appellant was sentenced on August 13, 2014.

                                           II.

       Appellant was convicted on one count of Fraudulent Use or Possession of

Identifying Information. Punishment was assessed at ten (10) years imprisonment.

                                          III.

       Appellant’s notice of appeal was filed on August 28, 2014 and a motion for new

trial was filed on September 11, 2014.    The clerk’s record and reporter’s record were

filed on December 11, 2014. The due date for the brief is Thursday, January 15, 2015.

                                           IV.

       This is Appellant’s first motion for extension of time to file his brief. Appellant

	
                                                                                       1	
  
respectfully requests a forty-five day extension of time to file the brief, which would

make such brief due on Monday, March 2, 2015.

                                            V.

       The undersigned attorney has been unable to complete the brief due to lack of

time. The Reporter’s record was filed last month and counsel’s workload has been such

that he has not been able to devote sufficient time to complete the brief. He asks that this

extension be granted so that he may effectively represent Appellant and so that justice

may be done in this case.

                                              Respectfully Submitted,

                                              _/s/_Dal Ruggles_________________
