TO THE HONORABLE SIXTH COURT OF APPEALS:
Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1 and 38.6(d}, Appellant files this agreed
second motion to extend time to file its opening brief.
Appellant's main appellate counsel, Mr. 0. Rey Rodriquez, has filed a
motion to withdraw and substitute counsel based on ongoing illness. New counsel
respectfully requests one 20-day extension of time, making the Appellant's
opening brief due on March 26, 2015. No further extensions are anticipated.
The last portion of the appellate record was filed on January 5, 2015.
Appellant previously filed an unopposed motion to extend time for 30 days, which
was granted. Although this Court disfavors additional extensions, Appellant
respectfully seeks this extension to allow new counsel to prepare a cogent and
succinct brief.
Appellant requests that the Court grant this motion and set its deadline for its
opening brief for March 26, 20 15. Appellant requests all other relief to which it
may be entitled.
