 FILED IN 1st COURT OF APPEALS HOUSTON, TEXAS 8/31/2015 3:17:00 PM CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE Clerk
TO THE HONORABLE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:

Appellants John T. Preston and C Change Investments file this unopposed

motion for an extension of time to file their reply brief, pursuant to Rule 10.5(b) of 

the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Appellants seek this extension of time 

because the parties are engaging in settlement discussions and would like to have 

time to further those discussions while minimizing legal expenses. 

This is Appellants’ second request for an extension of time to file their reply. 

Appellants’ reply is currently due September 1, 2015. This Court previously 

granted a two-week extension of time to file this brief, from the original due date 

of August 18, 2015.

Appellants now request a second two-week extension of time to file their

reply brief, making it due Tuesday, September 15, 2015. This extra time will 

enable the parties to continue their settlement discussions.

Because the Appellants are appealing an interlocutory order denying their 

special appearances, this is an accelerated appeal. TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 

51.014(a)(7). This is not a parental termination or child protective case.

Counsel for appellees, Emjo Investments, Ltd. and H.J. von der Goltz, does 

not oppose the relief requested in this motion.
WHEREFORE, Appellants John T. Preston and C Change Investments, LLC 

request a two-week extension of time to file their Reply Brief, making the brief due 

Tuesday, September 15, 2015.

Respectfully submitted,
