ABEL ACOSTA, CLERK
Appellant was assessed a punishment of 24 months in a state jail facility,
along with a fine of $10,000, also assessing court costs. The appeal in this

cause was perfected on February 28, 2014.

The Court of Appeals for the Second District of Texas, filed its

opinion confirming the trial court's conviction on May 14, 2015. The

deadline to file the Petition for Discretionary Review is July 15, 2015. This

is the second request for an extension to file Petition for Discretionary
Review.

Appellant's request for an extension is based upon the following
facts:

1. Counsel has been unable to obtain the Clerk's Record from

Appellant's prior attorney on appeal. Counsel has confirmed, with the

Parker County District Clerk's office, that the Clerk's trial record in this

matter is still checked out to Appellant's prior counsel on appeal, the

Honorable David Richards. Mr. Richards has indicated difficulty in locating

these documents, as former counsel had put the documents in storage,

and has been unable to locate them.

2. The Clerk's office advises that a second record cannot be

produced because of a change in computer software.

3. Counsel is attempting to obtain a copy of the record from the

Second Court of Appeals to utilize in finalizing the petition.

WHEREFORE, Appellant prays that the Court grant the requested

extension of time to file the petition for Discretionary Review.

Respectfully submitted,
