styled and numbered cause, and files this his Motion to Extend Time to File a Petition for

Discretionary Review (“PDR”) and in support thereof would show this Court the following:

I.

Appellant was convicted of intoxication manslaughter in cause number CR38343 and

punishment was assessed at five (5) years in prison. The Eleventh District Court of Appeals

affirmed his conviction in case number 11-12-00348-CR on November 26, 2014. Appellant’s

petition is now due on or before December 29, 2014.

deadline to file his PDR until February 17, 2015.
