          Appellant=s Second Motion to Extend Time to file
                          Appellant=s Brief
             _______________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

     NOW COMES Appellant, is Tarris Woods, asks the Court to

extend the time to file his Brief.

                          A. Introduction

     1.    Appellant is Tarris Woods; Apellees are Sandra T.

Kenner and Charles E. Twymon, Jr.

     2.    No rules provides a deadline to file this motion

to extend. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d)

     3.    Appellees are Sandra T. Kenner and Charles E. Twymon,

Jr., and it is unknown if one, both or either are opposed to

this motion.

                     B. Argument & Authorities

     4. The Court has the authority under Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 38.6 (d) to extend the time to file Appellant=s Brief.

     5. Appellant=s Brief was due on May 14, 2015.
        6. Appellant request an additional 30 days to file

Appellant=s Brief extending the time until June 14, 2015.

        7. One extension has been granted to extend the time to

file Appellant=s Brief.

        8. Appellant has a pending motion to reconsider the

increase in appellant’s bond amount which is awaiting on the

trial court’s determination on a lesser amount. The Appellant had

posted a significant bond with the Court and only after the

objection of the Appellee and upon hearing, the Court increased

the bond amount by more than three (3) times. That determination

has created a significant financial burden on the Appellant.

        9.    The current amount of the security required will cause

the judgment debtor substantial economic harm if, after notice

to all parties and a hearing, the court finds that posting a

bond, deposit, or security in the amount required by the order

is likely to cause the judgment debtor substantial economic

harm.

        10.   This is further shown that on April 27, 2015, the

appellee, Sandra T. Kenner, filed her Original Petition in

County Court at law number three (3) in Galveston County Texas

against the Appellant.

                              C. Conclusion

        11.   Appellant=s request an additional 30 days to file
Appellant=s Brief extending the time until June 14, 2015.

                                D. Prayer

        12.   For these reasons, Appellant=s asks the Court to grant

an extension of time to file Appellant=s Brief until June 14,

2015.

                                  Respectfully submitted,
