_______________________________________
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:
NOW COMES Appellant, is Tarris Woods, asks the Court to

1. Appellant is Tarris Woods; Apellees are Sandra T.
Kenner and Charles E. Twymon, Jr.

3. Appellees are Sandra T. Kenner and Charles E. Twymon,
Jr., and it is unknown if one, both or either are opposed to
this motion.
B. Argument & Authorities
4. The Court has the authority under Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 38.6 (d) to extend the time to file Appellant=s Brief.

6. Appellant request an additional 30 days to file

7. One extension has been granted to extend the time to
file Appellant=s Brief.
8. Appellant has a pending motion to reconsider the
increase in appellant’s bond amount which is awaiting on the
trial court’s determination on a lesser amount. The Appellant had
posted a significant bond with the Court and only after the
objection of the Appellee and upon hearing, the Court increased
the bond amount by more than three (3) times. That determination
has created a significant financial burden on the Appellant.
9. The current amount of the security required will cause
the judgment debtor substantial economic harm if, after notice
to all parties and a hearing, the court finds that posting a
bond, deposit, or security in the amount required by the order
is likely to cause the judgment debtor substantial economic
harm.
10. This is further shown that on April 27, 2015, the
appellee, Sandra T. Kenner, filed her Original Petition in
County Court at law number three (3) in Galveston County Texas
