                        In the 185th Judicial District Court
                             Of Harris County, Texas
                                   _________

   Appellant’s Motion for Extension of Time Within
          Which to file the Appellant’s Brief
                                  __________

TO THE HONORABLE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:

      Darryl Kent Authorlee, the appellant, under TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1 & 10.5(b),

moves for an extension of time within which to file his appellate brief. In support

of his motion, the appellant submits the following:

      (A)   The appellant’s brief is due on January 14, 2015.
      (B)   The appellant seeks an extension of time to file the appellant’s brief
            until, February 13, 2015.
      (C)   The appellant relies upon the following facts to reasonably explain the
            need for an extension:
                  Due to the undersigned’s work load, more time is necessary to
                  review the appellant record and prepare an appellate brief; the
                  trial court denied the appellant’s request for DNA testing and
                  the record will take some time to completely review.

      (D) No previous motion requesting an extension of time to file the
          appellant’s brief has been requested or granted.

      WHEREFORE, February 13, 2015.

                                            Respectfully submitted,
