 TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

         Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1, and 10.5(b), the Appellant, Juan A.
 Martin-de-Nicolas, files this "'Appellant's First Motion to Extend Time to File

 Appellant's Motion for En Banc Reconsideration."

         On 28 August 2014, this court ofappeals rendered judgment affirming the
 lower court ruling. On 26 January 2015, this court denied appellant's motion for
 rehearing.

         Appellant's Motion for En Banc Reconsideration, is currently due today,
 Tuesday 10 February 2015.

        Appellant seeks leave of court for a 7-day extension of time to file its

motion, making the motion due next Tuesday 17 February 2015. This is the first
request for extension of time to file the motion for en banc reconsideration.

REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT'S MOTION
                        FOR EN BANC RECONSIDERATION

        This request is not sought for delay, but so that justice may be done.
Appellant relies on the following reason to explain the need for the requested
extension:

    • Appellant came across a complex legal issue that may affect the outcome of

        his motion for en banc reconsideration. Appellant needs an additional seven

        days (7 days) to study the issue and prepare a cogent and succinct motion to

        aid this Court in its analysis of the issues presented for review in the motion

        for en banc reconsideration.

                                 PRAYER FOR RELIEF

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

"Appellant's First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant's Motion for En Banc

Reconsideration."

                                                Respectfully submitted.
