SEGISMUNDO GONZALEZ,
              APPELLANT
v.
STATE OF TEXAS,
              APPELLEE

          APPELLANT’S SECOND MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

                     TO FILE THE APPELLATE BRIEF

To the Honorable Justices of Said Court:

        Comes now, SEGISMUNDO GONZALEZ, by and through his attorney of

record, Leah M. Borg, and files this “Second Motion for Extension of Time to File

the Appellate Brief” and for good cause would show the following:

     1. APPELLANT’S attorney of record has not had sufficient time to complete

        and timely file the appellate brief due to the nature of the case against

        APPELLANT; the length of the record; and Counsel’s previously scheduled

        court appearances and client commitments.

                                                                                          1
2. Further, this appeal is taken from a hearing on a Pre-Sentence

   Investigation/Report. In an effort to avoid filing an Anders brief, Counsel

   has attempted to develop various points of error; most of which, as a result

   of research, Counsel has concluded would not be successful, as being

   unsupported by the law.

3. Counsel is presently developing a particular point of error, which may be

   successful upon appeal. Counsel requires additional time to finalize this

   point of error and finalize the appellate brief draft.

4. Counsel believes she will file the appellate brief on or before Monday,

   March 2, 2015, but out of an abundance of caution is requesting an extension

   of time through Wednesday, March 4, 2015.

   Therefore, Counsel requests the extension of time to in order to complete

and file the appellate brief.

   Wherefore, premises considered, the APPELLANT requests an extension of

time to file the appellate brief be granted and for such and other relief to which

this Court deems APPELLANT justly entitled.

                                     Respectfully submitted,

                                                                                     2
