TO THE HONORABLE FOURTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:

       Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1 and 38.6(d), the Appellant, Patrick

O'Connor & Associates, L.P. files this Unopposed Second Motion to Extend Time

to File Appellant's Brief.

       Appellant's opening brief is currently due on November 2, 2015.

       Counsel for Appellant requests a 10-day extension of time to file its brief,

making the brief due on November 12, 2015. 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:

       Counsel for Appellant was unable to obtain a copy of the reporter' s

transcript with sufficient time to complete Appellant's Brief, as the Court Reporter

responsible for its preparation could not be located in a timely manner.

       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.

       The undersigned has conferred with opposing counsel, and he has indicated

that his client does not oppose this motion.

       All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the

counsel signing this motion, therefore no verification is necessary under Rule of

Appellate Procedure 10.2.

                                          2
                              PRAYER FOR RELIEF

       For the reasons set forth above, Appellant requests that this Court grant this

Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant's Brief and extend the

Deadline for Filing the Appellant's Brief up to and including November 12, 2015,

and grant Appellant all other relief to which it may be entitled.

Respectfully submitted,
