TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:

      Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1 and 38.6(d), the Appellant, Maria Resendiz,

files this First Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief. Maria

Resendiz’s opening brief is due on July 9, 2015. Counsel for Maria Resendiz

requests a 46-day extension of time to file its brief, making the brief due on August

24, 2015. This is the first request for extension of time to file the opening brief.

      In addition to the routine matters that counsel must attend to in daily practice

counsel for Maria Resendiz seeks this extension of time to be able to prepare a cogent

and succinct brief to aid this Court in its analysis of the issues presented. This request

is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done.

      The undersigned has conferred with opposing counsel, and he has indicated

that his client does not oppose this motion.      All facts recited in this motion are within

the personal knowledge of the counsel signing this motion, therefore no verification

is necessary under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.2.

                              PRAYER FOR RELIEF

      For the reasons set forth above, Appellant requests that this Court grant this

First Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief and extend the

deadline for filing the Appellant’s Brief up to and including August 24, 2015.

Patricia Gonzalez requests all other relief to which she may be entitled.
