LANDSCAPING, INC.                            AUSTIN, TEXAS

       APPELLANT’S AGREED MOTION FOR EXTENSION
            OF TIME TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF

     COMES NOW, Appellant Diane V. Wade, and pursuant to the

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 38.6(d) and 10.5(b), files this

Agreed Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellate Brief, and in

support thereof would show as follows:

                                 I.

     Appellant’s brief in this case is due October 19, 2015. Appellant is

seeking a 21-day extension of time to file the brief until November 9,

2015. Appellee agrees that Appellant should be granted this 21-day

extension of time to file his brief. Those issues have now been resolved.
This is the first request for an extension of time to file his brief made by

Appellant.

                                   II.

     Appellant’s counsel has had a very busy schedule this summer and

fall and will continue to have a very full docket for the next few weeks.

Appellant’s counsel is also a trial attorney and has a number of cases

pending before Travis County, Hays County and Williamson County

courts, as well as before courts of other counties in Texas. In addition,

Appellant’s counsel has recently gone through a divorce proceeding in

Travis County and has substantial responsibilities relating to his 11 and

13 year old sons. Inasmuch as his former spouse has less flexibility in

her job than Appellant’s counsel, the undersigned counsel has taken on a

large role in meeting the needs of his children, and will continue to do so

as the year progresses. Also, Appellant’s counsel has an 86-year old

mother living in Central Texas who is ill and needs substantial time and

attention, which only the undersigned counsel is situated to provide.

Further, the undersigned counsel’s life-long friend and cousin has
sustained severe injuries and needs the undersigned counsel’s care and

attention. The undersigned counsel has provided the same.

                                  III.

     This Motion is not filed for delay only, but so that justice may be

done. The undersigned counsel has personal knowledge of the facts set

forth in this Motion. Appellant respectfully requests that this Court

extend the deadline for filing Appellant’s brief until November 9, 2015.

     WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant Diane V.

Wade respectfully requests that this Court grant her Agreed Motion for

Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief, and requests that the Court

grant such further and other relief to which Appellant may be entitled.
                            Respectfully submitted,
