     APPELLEES’ THIRD MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLEES’ BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      COMES NOW, Appellees’ Accessology Too, LLC, Kristi Avalos,
Individually, and Thomas Avalos, Individually, by and through their attorney of
record, W. Chandler Cramer, pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure
10.5(b) and 38.6(d), and files this Third Motion to Extend Time to File Appellee’s
Brief and would respectfully show the Court as follows:

      1.     This Case is on appeal from the 471st Judicial District Court.

      2.     Appellant filed its brief on July 17, 2023.

      3.     Appellees’ brief is due October 16, 2023. Appellees’ were previously
      given two (2) extensions.

      4.     Appellees request a 30-day extension, which would make the brief

      due on November 15, 2023.

                                     Page 1 Of 3
      5.     Appellees’ counsel is requesting a 30-day extension because Appellees’
      recently hired W. Chandler Cramer on October 16, 2023 and he has been
      unable to complete the research and drafting necessary to respond to
      Appellant’s brief. In accordance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure
      10.5(b) and Hone v. Hanafine, 104 S.W.3d 884, 886 (Tex. 2003), Appellees
      move this Court for a third extension to file its brief to November 15, 2023.
      Appellees’ failure to file the brief by October 16, 2023 was not deliberate or
      intentional. Appellee’s were unable to find and hire additional counsel within
      enough time for the additional counsel to prepare and file the brief between
      the September 15, 2023 deadline and the October 16, 2023 extended deadline.
      Appellees’ desire to file a brief and respectfully request a third extension of
      time to do so.

      6.     Alternatively, Appellees’ would respectfully request a 15-day
      extension to file its brief on October 31, 2023. This would allow Appellees’
      to file a brief without delaying this cause.

      Accordingly, Appellees request an extension until November 15, 2023, or,
alternatively until October 31, 2023, to file its responsive brief in this cause.

                                         Respectfully submitted,
