                                Attorneys for Appellant

                                                                       1
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

       COMES NOW Appellant, Joan Gillham and pursuant to Tex. R.

App. P. 10.5(b) and 38.6(d) and files her Appellant’s Second Motion For

Extension of Time to File Brief and requests that the Court extend the

time for the filing of Appellant’s Brief and would show the Court as

follows:

                                     I.

       The notice of appeal in this case was filed in the court of appeals

on December 14, 2017. The clerk’s record was filed on March 6, 2018.

                                     II.

     On April 18, 2018, the Court ordered the Appellant’s brief to be

filed within thirty days of the filing of the reporter’s record or June 4,

2018, whichever is later. Appellant’s Brief is therefore due today.

                                     III.

     The reporter’s record was filed with the court on May 31, 2018.

Appellant requests that the Court order the Appellant’s brief to be filed

30 days after the court reporter filed her record with the Court being

June 30, 2018.

                                                                             2
                                     IV.

         Appellee’s counsel does not oppose this motion and requests an

extension of time to file her brief to which Appellant does not oppose.

                                     V.

         This is Appellant’s second request for an extension of time to file

her Appellant’s brief. The first extension was on the grounds that the

reporter’s record was not filed and Appellant could not proceed with her

brief.

         WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant requests

that the Court grant an extension to file Appellant’s brief on June 30,

2018.

                                Respectfully submitted,
