         Appeal from 247th Judicial District Court, Harris County, Texas,
                   the Hon. Bonnie Crane Hellums, Presiding

           APPELLANT’S FIRST MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE TEXAS FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellant DAVID LANCASTER, (“Appellant”) files this First Motion to Extend
Time to File Brief in the above-referenced appeal pursuant to Texas Rules
Appellate Procedure 38.6 (d) and 10.5 (b) as follows:
(A) the deadline for filing the item in question; is stated to be December 29th 2014
by the clerk of courts record. Although Appellant believes it to be January 23 rd
2015 based upon the trial clerks record amended December 23rd 2014.
(B) the length of the extension sought; is 30 days Until January 28th 2015.
(C) the facts relied on to reasonably explain the need for an extension;
      1. The original clerks record was requested on October 20th 2014.
      2. The original Clerks record was filed on November 6th 2014.
      3. An request for Pro Se access to the appellate record was filed November
      19th 2014 and appellant received the original record on November 21st 2014.
      4. After review and realization that the record filed was insufficient per
      appellants first request appellant filed for First Supplemented Clerks Record
      on November 24th 2014.
      5. On December 5th 2014 the 247th Judicial District Court modified its
      judgment in cause 2013-05066.
      6. On December 16th 2014 the First Court of Appeals Noticed appellant that
      he must cause to be filed an amended clerks’ record to include the judgments
      of December 5th 2014.
      7. On December 23rd 2014 the First Supplemented clerks record was filed.
      And that same day the second supplement to clerks record was requested.

      APPELLANT’S FIRST MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF Page 1 of 3
       Per the schedule above appellant has not yet received first supplement to the
clerks record for review and inclusion in brief. Neither the appellant nor the Court
of Appeals has received the second supplemented record as required by the Court
of Appeals on December 16th 2014. Submission of brief without the complete
clerks record would fail to inform the court of appeals of all issues presented in
appeal and possibly deny appellant opportunity for relief due from appeal.

(D) the number of previous extensions granted regarding the item in question is
zero. This is the first motion to extend time to file brief.

David Lancaster, requests an extension of time until Wednesday January 28, 2015
to file his Appellate Brief in this case and for such other and further relief to which
Appellant may be justly entitled.

                                                                     Respectfully submitted,
                                                                            David Lancaster,
                                                                            Appellant Pro Se
