TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

     Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5 and 38.6(d), the Appellant, Ramon

Rojas Carrillo, Jr., files this Second Motion to Extend Time to File

Appellant’s Brief.

     The Appellant’s opening brief is currently due on November 18, 2016.

     Counsel for Appellant, Rogelio Alaniz, requests a 30-day extension of

time to file Appellant’s brief, making the brief due on December 18, 2016.

This is the second request for extension of time to file the opening brief.

     Counsel for Appellant relies on the following reasons, in addition to the

routine matters that counsel must attend to in daily practice, to explain the

need for the requested extension:

   1)      Counsel for Appellant had a preterm labor delivery on November

        15, 2016, and Counsel’s child is in the NICU at the Hays Seton

        Medical Center.

     Counsel for Appellant seeks this extension of time to be able to prepare

   a cogent and succinct brief to aid this Court in its analysis of the issues

   presented. This request is not sought for delay but so that justice may be

   done,

     All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the
counsel signing this motion, therefore no verification is necessary under

Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.2.

                       PRAYER FOR RELIEF

 For the reasons set forth above, Appellant respectfully requests that this

Court grant this Second Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief

and extend the deadline for filing the Appellant’s Brief up to December

18, 2016. Appellant requests all other relief to which Appellant may be

entitled.
