 SECOND MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING APPELLANT’S BRIEF

     Pursuant to Rules 38.6(d) and 10.5(b), Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure, Appellant respectfully moves for an
extension of time to file appellant’s brief herein, and in
support of said motion would show the following:

                                      I.
     The   current    deadline    for       the    filing    of   appellant’s
brief is FEBRUARY 17, 2015.

filing appellant’s brief, i.e. to FEBRUARY 23, 2015.

                                  III.
     One   previous     extension      of   time     to   file    appellant’s
brief has been sought and granted.

                                    IV.
     The facts relied upon to reasonably explain the need
for an extension are as follows:

     1.    This   was    a    complicated         civil     trial.   The
     appeal involves, among other complicated issues,
    the sufficiency of evidence to support the jury’s
    findings on      several      special issue submitted         to
    the jury.

    2.   Since      the    date    of    the     first    extension
    Counsel   has    had   numerous      court     appearances    in
    Williamson, Travis, Burnet and Comal counties.

    3.   Counsel for appellant has diligently worked
    on preparation of the brief in this case and is
    very close to finishing the brief but needs the
    additional time requested to complete the brief.

    4.   Counsel      assures      the     Court    and     opposing
    counsel     thatr      no     additional       requests      for
    extension will be requested.

    WHEREFORE,      appellant      prays    that     this    Motion    For
Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief be granted and
that the deadline for filing appellant’s brief be extended
to FEBRUARY 23, 2015.

                                           RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
