    Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellee’s Brief
__________________________________________________________________

To the Honorable Third Court of Appeals:

      Pursuant to Rules 10.5(b) and 38.6(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate

Procedure, the Appellee Commissioner of Education asks for a forty-five

(45) day extension of time to file his brief.

      1.    The Appellant Hermenia Jenkins filed her brief on July 10, 2015.

      2.    The Appellee Commissioner of Education’s brief is currently

due on August 9, 2015, and granting this request would make the brief due

no later than September 24, 2015.
       3.    The Appellee Commissioner seeks this extension because

counsel has other pending obligations that require filing this motion.

       4.    This is the Commissioner’s first request for an extension and is

not for purposes of delay.

       5.    Appellant Hermenia Jenkins and Appellee Crosby ISD do not

oppose this motion.

       6.    The parties and the Court will not be prejudiced by the

granting of this motion.

       Accordingly, the Appellee Commissioner asks for a 45-day extension

of time to file his brief so it will be due no later than September 24, 2015.

                               Respectfully submitted,

                               KEN PAXTON
