           Second Motion for Extension of Time To File a Brief by Appellant
                                                                         Clerk
                                    (Unopposed)

      Comes now appellant, Joyce Ann Sarro, and moves the Court to extend the time to

file her brief, pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 10.1, 10.5, and Article I, section 19 of the Texas

Constitution.

      1. Appellant’s brief is presently due on October 21, 2015.

      2. An extension for 30 days is requested to November 20, 2015.
      3. Previously, the undersigned counsel for Appellant indicated that his brother, hand-

icapped with Down’s Syndrome, was hospitalized on August 31, 2015, and discharged on

September 5, 2015. However, he was again hospitalized on September 29, 2015, and is at

this time still in the hospital. Attached as exhibit ’A’ is a master patient index sheet which

shows under the admitting and discharge columns that he was admitted on August 31, 2015

and discharged on September 5, 2015, and then on September 29, 2015, he was admitted

into the ER, then discharged from the ER and admitted into the hospital proper on that

same date. On October 9, his status changed at the hospital to a swing bed program, and he

remains in the hospital, as indicated in the discharge column as “inhouse”. The undersigned

is the only family member who has been able to assist with his brother’s situation, and has

no spouse or child who could otherwise help.

      4. This is the second request for an extension of time to file a brief by Appellant.

      5. This extension is not sought solely for delay, but that justice may be done.

      6. An inquiry was made about this motion to the attorney for Appellee, who indicated

that the motion is not opposed.

                                            Prayer

     Therefore, Joyce Ann Sarro prays that this motion be filed, that an extension of time
be granted to November 20, 2015 to file Appellant’s brief, and that she have such other

relief, in law or equity, to which she may be justly entitled.

                                               Respectfully submitted,
