TO THE HONORABLE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:

Appellants, El Ahorro Properties, LLC, Adventure Supermarkets, LLC and 

Rosara Investments, LLC, pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) 

and 38.6(d), file their Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Brief of 

Appellants.

Appellants’ Brief is currently due on April 20, 2015. Appellants seek a 

twenty-one (21) day extension to file their brief. If granted, Appellant’s Brief 

would be due on May 11, 2015.

This is Appellants’ first request for an extension of time to file their brief. 

Appellee does not oppose this motion.

Appellants need an extension of time to file their brief because the parties 

are attempting to resolve the arbitration issue. Appellee recently had surgery. As a 

result, counsel for Appellee has not had the opportunity to consult with her 

regarding whether to consent to arbitration in order to avoid the time and expense 

associated with this appeal. Further, counsel for Appellant has an out of town 

deposition that will take him out of the office on April 15th-16th and family 

commitments April 17th-19th. As a result, Appellants cannot delay filing this 

extension until the parties determine whether an agreement can be reached. 
3

For these reasons, Appellants El Ahorro Properties, LLC, Adventure 

Supermarkets, LLC and Rosara Investments, LLC pray that this Court grant a 

twenty-one (21) day extension of time to file their Brief. Appellants also pray for 

such further relief to which they may be entitled.

PRAYER
