                            Appellants

                                       v.

                                 BOB MIMS,
                                  Appellee

        APPEALED FROM THE 340th JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
                  TOM GREEN COUNTY, TEXAS

APPELLANTS’ SECOND MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE ORIGINAL
                         BRIEF

COMES NOW, Appellants, James C. Mosser, and Mosser Law PLLC, and

files this their Motion to Extend Time to File Original Brief, and in support

thereof would show the following:

                                INTRODUCTION

1.    Appellants are James C. Mosser, and Mosser Law, PLLC.

2.    Appellee is Bob Mims.

3.    There is no specific deadline to file this motion to extend time. See

APPELLANTS’ MOTION TO EXTEND TIME                                   Page 1 of 4
     TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(d).

                          ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES

4.   The Court has authority under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure

     38.6(d) to extend the time to file a brief.

5.   Appellants’ Brief is Due on October 8, 2015

6.   Appellants’ request an additional thirty days to file their brief,

     extending the time until Monday, November 9, 2015.

7.   One extension has been granted to extend the time to file the

     Appellants’ Brief.

8.   In addition to working on this appeal, Counsel for Appellants has

     been handling a very busy litigation schedule in the thirty days since

     the court granted its previous extension. Counsel has engaged in

     significant settlement, discovery, hearing, and trial preparation work.

9.   Additionally, Counsel for Appellants believes that the unique

     positions on the law that undergird this case, positions for which the

     Supreme Court has requested briefing on the merits prior to granting

     a Petition for Review, warrant additional research to ensure that all

     matters are fully and adequately briefed for this court. See Wood v.

     HSBC et al., 439 S.W.3d 585 (Tex.App.–Houston [14th Dist] 2014,

APPELLANTS’ MOTION TO EXTEND TIME                                    Page 2 of 4
       pet. filed), briefing requested, No.14-0714 (Tex. Feb. 27, 2015).

10.    Thus, this motion is not filed for the purpose of delay, but to allow

       counsel adequate time to prepare the brief on the merits.

                                  CONCLUSION

11.    Appellant’s busy litigation schedule, coupled with the Supreme

       Court’s pending decision to grant review in Wood v. HSBC and the

       effect that decision may have on this appeal and the unique positions

       presented here warrants an additional extension of time.

                                    PRAYER

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellants ask the Court to

grant an extension of time to file their brief until Monday, November 9,

2015

Respectfully Submitted, MOSSER LAW PLLC
