                               PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

       Appellant filed his notice of appeal on or about July 31, 2014. Appellant’s brief is due

to be filed on or before January 1, 2015.

       Appellant requests that the time for filing Appellants brief be extended beyond January 1,

2015 for the reasons that subsequent to filing of the record of the District Clerk, Cass County,

Texas on December 1, 2014, the Cass County Courthouse and the offices of the undersigned

attorney have been closed several days during the holidays, that the undersigned attorney has

commenced preparation of Appellant’s brief but not completed such, and that there are two

holidays during the month of January, 2015. Appellant submits that this motion for extension of
time to file brief is not submitted for the purposes of delay only but in order that justice can be

accomplished.

                                                 III.

                                  CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE

        Appellate represents that the undersigned attorney contacted the prosecuting attorney,

Courtney Shelton, on December 29, 2014, and said counsel does not oppose Appellant’s motion

for extension of time to file brief.

                                                 IV.
