           SCHUHARDT CONSULTING PROFIT SHARING PLAN,
                           Appellant

                                       vs.

                 DOUBLE KNOBS MOUNTAIN RANCH, INC.,
                              Appellee

   APPELLANT’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
              TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellant Schuhardt Consulting Profit Sharing Plan files its Unopposed

Motion to Extend Time to File Motion for Rehearing and would show the Court

the following:

      1.    This case is on appeal from Cause Number 2011-09-28311-CV-B in

the 38th Judicial District Court of Uvalde County, Texas, the Honorable Mickey R.

Pennington, Judge Presiding.

      2.    The original deadline for filing a motion for rehearing is January2,

2015. This motion is filed within the 15-day period to file a motion to extend the

time to file a motion for rehearing, as required by Texas Rule of Appellate

                                        1
Procedure 49.8. The Court has the authority under Rule 49.8 to extend the time for

a party to file a motion for hearing. Appellant requests an additional forty (40)

days from the date of the filing of this motion to file its motion for rehearing until

February 11, 2015.

        3.    The extension is necessary because Appellant desires its trial counsel

to appear in this appeal and continue to represent it until final adjudication. The

undersigned has agreed to represent Appellant for the pendency of this appeal, but

requires additional time after becoming lead appellate counsel to analyze this

Court’s Opinion, delivered and filed on December 17, 2014, and, if necessary,

prepare and file a motion for rehearing. Appellant’s Designation of Lead Counsel

is filed contemporaneously with this Motion.

        4.    Additionally, the undersigned is currently out of town due to the

holidays and will not return until after the deadline to file Appellant’s motion for

rehearing.

        5.    This is the first extension sought by Appellant to file a motion for

rehearing, and is not sought for the purposes of delay but so that justice may be

done.

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

file a Motion for Rehearing until February 11, 2014.
