JEFFREY D. KYLE

CLERK

 FILED IN 3rd COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS 6/2/2015 3:23:50 PM JEFFREY D. KYLE Clerk
trial by six law firms. The review and revision of Appellants’ brief by various trial 

counsels is anticipated to take more time than is currently available under the 

appellate briefing deadlines. In addition, lead counsel on this appeal has recently 

engaged another law firm with expertise in the hyperlinking and technical aspects 

of appellate e-filings to assure that the brief complies with the appellate filing rules 

and is easy to navigate electronically.

Appellants’ trial counsel and appellate counsel expect to complete their 

review of the brief and filing preparations within a week to ten days. An extension 

of time would permit Appellants to prepare a more complete and technically 

comprehensive response. This is the Appellants’ first request for an extension and 

is unopposed by Appellees.

PRAYER

For this reason, Appellants request that the deadline for the filing of the 

Brief of the Merits in this case be extended to June 19, 2015.
