                         ALICIA BRYAN HAYNES,
                                  APPELLEE

On Appeal from Cause No. 2012-Cl-14023, In the 166th Judicial District Court of
          Bexar County, Texas, Honorable David Canales, Presiding

               APPELLANT’S SECOND ADVISORY REGARDING
                    STATUS OF TRIAL PROCEEDINGS

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
     Appellant Justin V. Haynes respectfully provides this advisory

informing the Court of the current status of the trial court proceedings

pursuant to the Court’s September 21, 2015 order.

                                      I.

     This appeal initially arose from the March 3, 2015 judgment

rendered by the trial court. The notice of appeal was filed on February

16, 2015. The Clerk’s Record was filed on May 5, 2015. The Reporter’s
Record was filed on May 4, 2015 and June 16, 2015. The trial court

rendered a Modified Judgment on June 16, 2015.

     Appellant’s brief was due to be filed by July 16, 2015. However,

Appellant filed his unopposed motion to extend that deadline or to

abate the appeal pending final resolution of the trial court proceedings.

On July 20, 2015, the Court entered its order abating this appeal. On

August 31, 2015, the trial court rendered its second modified judgment.

On September 21, 2015, the Court continued the abatement until the

trial proceedings are final, provided that Appellant provide an advisory

regarding the status of the trial court proceedings every three weeks,

beginning October 12, 2015. In accord with the Court’s order, Appellant

provides this advisory.

                                   II.

     On September 28, 2015, Appellant filed his Motion to Modify

Judgment and his Motion for New Trial. Appellee filed her Motion to

Modify, Correct, or Reform Judgment Signed August 31, 2015 on

September 30, 2015. Appellant’s motions are set for hearing by the trial

court on October 27, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. It is presumed that Appellee’s

post-judgment motion will be set for hearing at the same time. In light

of the continuing trial court proceedings, Appellant requests that the

Court continue the abatement of this appeal.

                                  2
                                   III.

     The continuation of the abatement is not sought for purposes of

delay. Rather, this request is made to ensure that the issues eventually

raised in this appeal are narrowed to the greatest extent possible and

then presented to this Court in the most efficient and expeditious

manner possible.

     WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant Justin V.

Haynes respectfully requests that the Court continue to abate this

appeal until after the trial proceedings conclude and the complete

appellate record is filed in this Court, and such other and further relief

to which he is justly and equitably entitled.

                            Respectfully submitted,
