TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

     Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5 and 38.6(d), the Appellant, Alejandro

Munoz, files this Second Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief.

     The Appellant’s opening brief is currently due on November 24, 2015.

     Counsel for Appellant, Heather Richards, requests a 15-day extension

of time to file Appellant’s brief, making the brief due on December 9, 2015.

This is the second request for extension of time to file the opening brief.

     Counsel for Appellant relies on the following reasons, in addition to the

routine matters that counsel must attend to in daily practice, to explain the

need for the requested extension:

   1)   State’s Exhibit Number 70, contained in the Appellate Record, is not

        the recording that was admitted at trial, but is State’s Exhibit 71, a

        recording that was suppressed by the trial court. The Comal County

        District Clerk has the correct Sate’s Exhibit 70, as counsel for

        Appellant has reviewed such. Counsel for Appellant has contacted

        the State and the State has requested time to investigate the error,

        and agrees to this Motion.

     Counsel for Appellant seeks this extension of time to be able to prepare

   a cogent and succinct brief to aid this Court in its analysis of the issues

   presented. This request is not sought for delay but so that justice may be
done,

 All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the

counsel signing this motion; therefore no verification is necessary under

Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.2.

                       PRAYER FOR RELIEF

 For the reasons set forth above, Appellant respectfully requests that this

Court grant this Second Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief

and extend the deadline for filing the Appellant’s Brief up to December

9, 2015. Appellant requests all other relief to which Appellant may be

entitled.
