THIRD COURT OF APPEALS

AUSTIN, TEXAS

JEFFREY D. KYLE

CLERK

 FILED IN 3rd COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS 4/7/2015 8:51:40 AM JEFFREY D. KYLE Clerk
1. The Court rendered judgment on March 26, 2015.

2. Per Tex. R. App. P. 49.1, Appellees’ motion for rehearing is due within 15 

days of the Court’s judgment on April 10, 2015.

3. Per Tex. R. App. P. 49.8, Appellees timely request an additional 14 days to 

file a motion for rehearing, extending the time to file to April 24, 2015.

4. Appellees have not previously requested to extend the time to file their motion 

for rehearing.

5. Good cause exists to grant this request. Several levels of staff of the 

Comptroller and the Attorney agencies have been diligently debating whether to file 

a motion for rehearing since the Court issued its opinion, but have not yet reached a 

decision.

6. This extension is not being sought for purposes of delay but rather so that a 

thorough and clear motion for rehearing, if any, may be presented to the Court.

7. Appellant is not opposed to this motion.

8. Wherefore, Appellees Glenn Hegar, Comptroller of Public Accounts of the 

State of Texas, and Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, request that this motion 

be granted, and that the time for filing a motion for rehearing be extended to 

April 24, 2015.
