THE STATE OF TEXAS

               APPELLANT’S SECOND MOTION FOR
               EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE FOURTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:

      COMES NOW, Linda Woodman, by and through her attorney of

record, Linda Icenhauer-Ramirez, and files this her Second Motion for

Extension of Time to Brief and in support thereof, would show the Court the

following:

                                     I.

      That the above-styled and numbered cause is styled The State of

Texas v. Linda Woodman, Cause Number D-1-DC-14-904029 in the 147th

Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas. Appellant was sentenced on

September 2, 2014.

                                     II.

      Appellant was convicted of the offense of aggravated assault and

punishment was assessed at thirteen years (13) years and a $10,000.00 fine.
                                      III.

        Appellant’s motion for new trial was filed on September 23, 2014.

Notice of appeal was filed on November 25, 2014. The reporter’s record

was filed on May 18, 2015, and the clerk’s record was filed on December

22, 2014. The due date for the brief is Monday, August 3, 2015.

                                      IV.

        This is Appellant’s second motion for extension of time to file her

brief. Appellant respectfully requests a forty-five day extension of time to

file the brief, which would make such brief due on Thursday, September 17,

2015.

                                      V.

        The undersigned attorney has read the lengthy appellate record in this

case. She has begun researching the applicable law and has begun drafting

the brief.     However she has been unable to complete the brief due to

necessary work that needed to be completed on several other appeal cases

and due to her busy schedule in both the district and county courts of Travis

County and Williamson County. She recently completed and filed a brief in

the case of Levardo Cantos v. State of Texas, Cause No. 03-14-00585-CR

which was due on July 10, 2015. She also completed and filed a brief in the

case of James Palacio v. State of Texas, Cause No. 03-14-00654-CR which
was due on July 20, 2015. In addition she had to file a motion for rehearing

in the case of John Frederick Zedler v. State of Texas, Cause No. 03-14-

00044-CR on July 27, 2015. She will now devote her full attention to

completing the brief in this case and will have it completed by September

17, 2015.     She asks that this extension be granted so that she may

effectively represent Appellant and so that justice may be done in this case.

                                       Respectfully Submitted
