                   Appeal from County Court at Law No.1
                           Fort Bend County, Texas
                          Case No. 13-CCV-050162
                Honorable Ben W. Bud Childers, Judge Presiding

     MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLEES’ BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT:

      LIFE CHANGING MINISTRIES AND FELLOWSHIP, INC., ERIC

STEPHENS, and JENNIFER STEPHENS, Appellees, files this Unopposed Motion for

Extension of Time to File Brief and would show unto the Court the following:

      1.    Appellant is 1221 ELDRIDGE ROAD, INC. Appellees are LIFE

CHANGING MINISTRIES AND FELLOWSHIP, INC., ERIC STEPHENS, and

                                        1
JENNIFER STEPHENS. No rule limits the time within which to file this motion to

extend. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d).

         2.   The court has the authority under Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure

38.6(d) to extend the time to file the brief.

         3.   Appellees’ brief is due on Wednesday, February 19, 2015.

         4.   Appellees request an additional thirty (30) days to file its brief, extending

the time to Friday, March 20, 2015.

         5.   No prior extension has been granted to extend the time to file Appellees’

brief.

         6.   Appellant needs additional time to file its brief because counsel for

Appellees is scheduled to be out of town from February 8, 2015 to February 14, 2015

and Appellees are scheduled to be out of town from January 27, 2015 to February 4,

2015, prohibiting counsel for Appellees to complete and finalize the brief.

         7.   For these reasons, Appellant asks the Court to grant an extension of time

to file its brief until Friday, March 20, 2015.

Dated: January 29, 2015.
