TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      COMES NOW, Rhejeanne Bermudez, Appellant, and hereby files this

Unopposed Second Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief, and would

respectfully show the Court as follows:

                                           I.

      The deadline for Appellant’s brief is currently due on or before January 17,

2018. Appellant respectfully requests an extension of time to file her brief until

January 26, 2018. Counsel for Appellee has stated that he does not oppose this

extension. This is the second request for an extension by Appellant to file her brief.

      In addition to various depositions, mediations and other matters in other cases,

counsel for Appellant had a jury trial in Hays County that lasted from December 4,

2017 until December 13, 2017. Counsel spent the week prior to this trial from

November 25 through December 3, 2017 preparing for it. He also attended the out of

state funeral of his uncle from November 18-22.

      Counsel for Appellant spent most of the week of December 18, 2017 in Dallas

for depositions, and then took time off for the Christmas Holiday and New Years.

      Counsel for Appellant has a brief due in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on

January 15, 2018, and as such needs additional time to prepare the brief in this appeal.

As such, counsel for Appellant respectfully requests an extension of time to file the

brief from January 17, 2018 until January 26, 2018.
                       CERTIFICATE OF CONFERENCE

        By my signature below, Counsel for Appellant has conferred with Counsel for

Appellee, James A. Hemphill, regarding this motion. Counsel for Appellee has

stated that he does not oppose this extension.

grant Appellant an extension to file the brief, making it due on or before January 26,

2018.
