                    JOE MURPHY, YORAM BEN-AMRAM
                     AND GALTEX DEVELOPMENT LLC

                     MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
              IN WHICH TO FILE REQUEST FOR REHEARING
                AND REQUEST FOR REHEARING EN BANC
                             (Unopposed)

TO THE HONORABLE FOURTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:

       Pursuant to TRAP 10.5 and 49.8, Appellees Joe Murphy, Yoram Ben
Amram and Galtex Development LLC
hereby request an extension of thirty days, to and including Wednesday, February
12, 2015 in which to file a Motion for Rehearing and Motion for Rehearing En
Banc.
       The Opinion of the Court was issued on January 13, 2015. Any motion for
Rehearing would be initially due by Wednesday, January 28.
       This is a first request for such extension.
       Good cause exists for the requested extension. The Opinion of January 13 is
relatively complicated and in the view of Appellees counsel raises serious issues
for both sides on remand. The same opinion also appears to raise serious issues
concerning proper application of the standard of review and related presumptions
on appeal.
       This Motion is Unopposed. In the event that Appellant The City of
Galveston seeks an extension, such request will not be opposed by Appellees.
                                         Prayer
       Appellees accordingly request an extension through and including
Wednesday, February 28, 2015 in which to file a Motion for Rehearing and Motion
for Rehearing En Banc.
