                     APPELLANT'S SECOND MOTION
                 FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:
      COMES NOW, ELIZABETH BLACK, Appellant, and files this motion for
an extension of thirty (30) days in which to file Appellant's Brief. This request is
made pursuant to and in compliance with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.1
and 10.5(b)(l). In support of this motion, Appellant shows the court the following:
                                          I.
      Appellant appealed a pre-trial suppressiOn order in a Driving While
Intoxicated case from the Travis County Court at Law Number Five, Cause
Number C1CR-13-217530 which was denied on January 13, 2015. Appeal was
perfected by Appellant on January 26, 2015. Appellant filed a motion for extension
of time to file brief on April 9, 20 15. This Honorable Court granted the motion and
Appellant's brief is due May 11, 2015.
                                         II.
      Counsel for Appellant has a very large docket and trial schedule which has
prevented him from being able to complete a brief. Additionally, council for
Appellant is out of town this week. Appellant's co-counsel, Meril "Gene" Anthes,
Jr., is drafting Appellant's brief-however, his wife just had their second child on
April30, 2015, and he's a little sleep deprived.
        Appellant respectfully requests an extension of thirty (30) days in which to
file her brief.
        WHEREFORE, Appellant prays the court grant this motion and extend the
deadline for filing Appellant's Brie
