                        ATTORNEYS FOR APPELLANT

                                        1
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, files this Unopposed Second Motion to Extend Time to

File Appellant's Brief.

       Appellant's opening brief is currently due on November 12, 2015.

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

making the brief due on November 22, 20 15. This is the third 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 experienced unforeseen technical difficulties that

prevented him from   fin~lizing   and filing Appellate Brief on the date due.

       Due to the unforeseeable nature of this occurrence, Counsel for Appellant

was unable to confer with Appellee's Counsel to obtain permission for the

extention.

       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 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,
