Jacqueline Doyer Comal County District Attorney’s Office 150 N. Seguin Street, Suite 307 New Braunfels, Texas 78130 Telephone: (830) 221-1300 TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5 and 38.6(d), the Appellant, Ramon Rojas Carrillo, Jr., files this Second Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief.

The Appellant’s opening brief is currently due on November 18, 2016. Counsel for Appellant, Rogelio Alaniz, requests a 30-day extension of time to file Appellant’s brief, making the brief due on December 18, 2016. 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:

1) Counsel for Appellant had a preterm labor delivery on November

15, 2016, and Counsel’s child is in the NICU at the Hays Seton Medical Center.

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 Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.2.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

For the reasons set forth above, Appellant respectfully requests that this Court grant this Second Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief and extend the deadline for filing the Appellant’s Brief up to December 18, 2016. Appellant requests all other relief to which Appellant may be entitled.

Respectfully Submitted, /s/ Amanda Erwin Amanda Erwin The Erwin Law Firm, L.L.P. 109 East Hopkins Street, Suite 200 San Marcos, Texas 78666 Telephone: (512) 938-1800 Telecopier: (512) 938-1804 Attorney for Appellant [email protected]
