v.                                     §           NUMBER 03-14-00371-CR
THE STATE OF TEXAS                     §

           APPELLANT’S SECOND MOTION TO EXTEND TIME
                 FOR FILING APPELLANT’S BRIEF

     Pursuant to Rules 38.6(d) and 10.5(b), Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure, Appellant respectfully moves for an
extension of time to file appellant’s brief herein, and in
support of said motion would show the following:

                                   I.

     The original deadline for the filing of appellant’s
brief is MARCH 16, 2015.

                                   II.

     Appellant’s      seeks   a   30   days   extension         of   time   for
filing appellant’s brief, i.e. to APRIL 15, 2015.

                                  III.

     One   previous    extension       of   time    to   file    appellant’s
brief has been sought and granted.
                             IV.

    The facts relied upon to reasonably explain the need
for an extension are as follows:

         1. The appellate record in thia case is
            voluminous and complicated. The Reporter’s
            record consists of 13 volumes. At leasr
            124 exhibits were admitted at trial. The
            Cllerk’s Record consists of 176 pages.

         2. Since the first extension was granet
            Counsel had to spend a considerable amount
            of time on an appeal in a civil case in
            which the brief was filed on February 23,
            2015.

         3. Since the first extension was granted
            counsel has had court appearances in
            felony   cases   in   Williamson, Travis,
            Burnet, and Comal Counties.

    WHEREFORE,   appellant   prays   that   this   Motion   For
Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief be granted and
that the deadline for filing appellant’s brief be extended
to APRIL 15, 2015.

                                     RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
