TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS:
NOW COMES, WYDELL LORRAINE DIXON, and files this Motion To
Extend Time To File Petition For Discretionary Review. In support of this motion, he
would respectfully show the Court the following:
I.
In a PUBLISHED opinion delivered December 16, 2014, a panel of the First Court
of Appeals AFFIRMED Appellant’s appeals from four judgments of conviction for cruelty
to animals by the 56th District Court of Galveston County. Appellant did not file a motion
for rehearing. Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review is due on January 16, 2014.
This motion to extend time to file petition for discretionary review is timely filed within
thirty days after the court of appeals issued its opinion or overruled Appellant’s Motion for
Rehearing or within fifteen days of said deadline. See TEX. R. APP. PROC. 68.2.
II.
Appellant is requesting additional time to file the petition for discretionary review.
More time is necessary to research the issues involved.
III.
Appellant asserts that this motion is not made solely for purposes of delay and that
the granting of this motion will not prejudice the rights of the State.
IV.
Appellant is therefore requesting a thirty [30] day extension so that his Petition may
be timely filed.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that the
Honorable Court of Criminal Appeals will grant his Motion To Extend Time To File
Petition For Discretionary Review.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/R. SCOTT SHEARER
