      COMES NOW, STEPHEN CLARK WEBB, Appellant in the above-entitled

and numbered cause, and files this, Appellant's Second Motion to Extend Time to

File Petition for Discretionary Review, and for good cause moves the Court to grant

an extension as follows:

      1.     Appellant intends to file a Petition for Discretionary Review asking the

            Court to grant the petition on the grounds that the Court of appeals

             either decided an important question of state law that has not been, but

             should be, settled by the Court of Criminal Appeals and which conflicts

             with applicable decisions of the Court of Criminal Appeals.

      2.     The deadline for filing a Petition for Discretionary Review in this matter

             is November 11, 2015.                            ,...„...

     3.     Appellant is seeking a 2 day extension to file his Petition for

            Discretionary Review.

     4.     Appellant seeks additional time to file his Petition for Discretionary

            Review for the following reasons:

                  to practice law interviewing witnesses, working on a Joint Pretrial

                  Statement in preparation for a trial readiness conference

                  scheduled November 19, 2015 in advance of a projected two

                  week trial involving multiple defendants scheduled to begin

                  December 1, 2015.

            b)     Appallant's counselhas not completed his work in reviewing and

                  amending the draft PDR prepared in this matter for filing it with

                  the Court and seeks an additional two days to complete doing so.

      5.    There has been one previous extension granted regarding the filing of

            a Petition for Discretionary Review.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that the Court

grant this Motion and extend the time to file his Petition for Discretionary Review

by two days until November 13, 2015.
