                  SECOND MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF
                   \

TO THE HONORABLE           JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

        COMES NOW Appellant Timothy Tanner Viator, by and through Colin D. McFall,

Attorney of Record, in the above numbered and styled cause, pursuant to Rule 10.5 (b) and Rule

38.6 (d), Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and for good cause moves this Court grant

Appellant's   Second Mption to Extend Time to File Brief. In support of said motion, the

Appellant would respectfully show this Honorable Court the following:

                                                   I.

        Pursuant to Rule 10.5(b) (1) (A), Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, Appellant's    Briefis

due on the 21 st day of August 2015.

                                                   II.

        Pursuant to Rule 10.5(b) (1) (B), Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, Appellant

respectfully request a thirty (30) day extension of time to file Appellant's Brief. If granted,

Appellant's Briefwould   be due on the 21st day of September 2015.
                                                    III.

        Pursuant to Rule 10.5(b) (1) (C), Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, Counsel relies on the

following facts to reasonably explain the need for the requested extension:

        Counsel is engaged in the multijurisdictional      private practice of law. Counsel engages in

the practice of family law, juvenile law, criminal defense and quasi criminal proceedings.

Counsel operates two offices in the East Texas area. Counsel submits his work load is high.

Because of the demands of private practice and a high work load, Counsel has not had an

effective amount of time to draft an appellate brief. Counsel needs the requested extension of

time to effectively represent Appellant.     Appellant is entitled to the effective representation   of

Counsel.

                                                    IV.

       Pursuant to Rule 10.5(b) (1) (D), Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, this is Counsel's

second motion for an extension oftime to file Appellant's       Brief.

                                                    V.

       Pursuant to Rule 10.1 (5), Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, Counsel was not able to

consult with opposing counsel, to confirm the instant motion is unopposed.

                                                    VI.

       WHEREFORE,        PREMISES CONSIDERED,              Appellant Timothy Tanner Viator, prays

the Appellate Court grant Appellant's      Second Motion to Extend Time to File Brief, and grant

Counsel an additional thirty (30) days to file Appellant's     Brief.
