                UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME
                        TO MOVE FOR REHEARING
__________________________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellant Trinity Materials, Inc. (“Trinity”) files this Unopposed Motion for

Extension of Time seeking an additional 29 days, until February 13, 2015, within

which to move for rehearing and would show the Court the following:

                                       -1-
        1.   The deadline for Appellant to move for rehearing is January 15, 2015.

Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 49.8, Appellant seeks

an extension of 29 days, until February 13, 2015, within which to pursue rehearing.

        2.   This extension is requested because Appellant’s counsel are engaged

in the following other matters with deadlines in and around January and February

2015:

             a.    United States of America, ex rel, Joshua Harman v. Trinity
                   Industries, Inc., et al. v. The Center for Auto Safety, et al., No.
                   14-40995 (United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit).
                   Counsel for Appellant represents Appellees in that case.
                   Counsel presented oral argument on January 8, 2015.

             b.    Ensign Group, Inc. v Erica Mammen, No. 02-14-00317-CV
                   (Second District Court of Appeals of Texas, Fort Worth).
                   Counsel for Appellant represents Appellants in that case.
                   Counsel will present oral argument, which is currently
                   scheduled for January 20, 2015.

             c.    In re John Reeder, No. 14-0749 (Supreme Court of Texas).
                   Counsel for Appellant represents Respondents. Respondents’
                   Brief on the Merits is due February 9, 2015.

        3.   An extension of time for filing the Motion for Rehearing is sought so

that justice may be done in the disposition of this appeal and due to unavoidable

conflicts, not for the purpose of delay. This Motion is unopposed.

        4.   Appellant has not previously requested any other extensions of time

for moving for rehearing.

                                        -2-
                  CONCLUSION AND REQUEST FOR RELIEF

      For these reasons, Appellant requests that the Court grant it an extension of

time until and including February 13, 2015, in which to move for rehearing, and

award all such other and further relief to which it may be justly entitled.

                                        Respectfully submitted,
