    Thus, multiple courts have held that there are no grounds for reversal when a trial court refuses a pro se defendant's unsworn, oral motion for more time to prepare his or her defense. See Johnson v. State, No. 01-16-00548-CR, 2017 WL 2255724, at *2 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] May 23, 2017, pet. ref'd) (mem. op., not designated for publication); Cerf v. State, 366 S.W.3d 778, 786-87 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2012, no pet.); Colomb v. State, No. 10-08-00039-CR, 2009 WL 1163413, at *5 (Tex. App.—Waco Apr. 29, 2009, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication); Thomas v. State, Nos. 05-04-01289-CR, 05-04-01290-CR, 2006 WL 1624393, at *5 (Tex. App.—Dallas June 13, 2006, pet. ref'd) (mem. op., not designated for publication); Calhoun v. State, No. 14-02-00765-CR, 2003 WL 21911176, at *3 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Aug. 12, 2003, no pet.) (not designated for publication). Regardless, even assuming that Buchanan had preserved his motion for continuance, he would not prevail.
