                  DAVE H. BUCHHOLZ and MARY A. BUCHHOLZ

                                        Appellees

     On Appeal from the 274th Judicial District Court of Comal County, Texas
                           Cause No. C2014-0259C

                  APPELLEE’S UNOPPOSED MOTION
       TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE RESPONSE TO APPELLANT’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

       Appellees, Dave H. Buchholz and Mary A. Buchholz, pursuant to TEX. R.

APP. P, Rules 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), asks this Honorable Court for an extension of time

within which to file their Response to Appellant’s Brief in the above captioned

matter.

       1.       Appellees request an extension of time for six (6) days, until Thursday,

July 2, 2015.

       2.       Appellees are filing their brief on the merits contemporaneously with

this motion for an extension of time.
                                            1
       3.    This is Appellees third request for an extension of time in which to file

his Brief.

       4.    Appellees’ reply brief was due on June 26, 2015. Counsel planned to

complete and file the brief on June 26, 2015, but unanticipated scheduling conflicts

interfered with that goal. Furthermore, counsel was scheduled to be on vacation from

June 27 through July 1, 2015, preventing completion on those dates.

       5.    Therefore, Appellees request an extension of time for six (6) days, until

Thursday, July 2, 2015.

       6.    Appellant’s counsel is not opposed to the extension of time.

       7.    This request is not sought for delay, but so that justice may be done.

                                           Prayer

       For the foregoing reasons, Appellee respectfully asks this Honorable Court

for an extension of the deadline to file Appellees’ Brief for additional period of six

(6) days, that is, until July 2, 2015 and for such other and further relief to which they

may be entitled.

                                               Respectfully submitted,
