                             appellee

                 MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                   TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF

TO THE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

        Appellee, Cox Texas Newspapers, L.P. d/b/a Austin American-

Statesman, files this motion for extension of time to file Appellee’s Brief

under Rules 10.1, 10.5(b), and 38.6(d) of the Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure, and requests the Court to extend the deadline for filing the

appellants’ brief from January 16, 2015 until January 28, 2015. In support

of this motion appellee shows:

                                     I.

        This is an appeal from the grant of a motion for summary judgment

on a suit to collect on a note. Appellant’s Brief was filed on December 15,

2014.

                                     1
                                    II.

      This is appellee’s first request for an extension of time to file

Appellee’s Brief.

                                   III.

      The undersigned Timothy Hootman, who is primarily responsible for

preparing Appellee’s Brief, was busy preparing the brief in No. 03-14-

00470-CV, Chavez v. Martinez (which was filed on January 11, 2015), and

had underestimate the time need to complete the brief in this case, and

therefore requests the additional 12 days. The Appellee’s Brief has been

filed contemporaneously with this motion.

      WHEREFORE, appellee, Cox Texas Newspapers, L.P. d/b/a Austin

American-Statesman, prays that the time to file Appellee’s Brief be

extended from to January 16, 2015, until January 28, 2015.

                                  Respectfully submitted,
