      APPELLANTS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                 TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING

      Comes now Martha N. Hill and Gary Hill (“Hill”), Appellants, herein

(“Appellants”), and pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 49.8 file this, its

Appellants’ Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Motion For Rehearing. In

support thereof, Appellants would respectfully show unto the Court as follows:

      1.      The deadline for filing Appellants’ Motion for Rehearing in this court is

January 22, 2015.

      2.      Appellants seek an order extending the time for filing their Motion for

Rehearing for 15 days, so that Appellants’ Motion would be due for filing in this court on

February 6, 2015.
        3.    Appellants request this extension of time to file their Motion for Rehearing

in order to accommodate and comply with briefing deadlines in two other appellate cases

and associated responsibilities therewith.

        4.    This is the first request for extension of time for filing the Motion for

Rehearing that Appellants have sought from this Court.

        5.    This request is not sought for the purpose of delay, but to allow Appellants

adequate time to fully and properly address the merits of their Motion for Rehearing.

                                               Prayer

the time for filing Appellants’ Motion for Rehearing in the above case to February 6,
