                           IN THE INTEREST OF T.S.P., A CHILD

               APPELLEE'S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS, FOURTH
DISTRICT OF TEXAS:

       COMES NOW, MARSALIE ZINSMEYER, the appellee in the above styled and

numbered cause, pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 49.8, through her

attorney of record, files this motion to extend time to file her Appellee’s brief. In support of this

motion the appellee respectfully shows the following:

1.     On January 16, 2015, Appellant’s brief was filed in this case.

2.     The deadline for filing the Appellee’s brief in this appeal was set for February 16, 2015.

3.     The Appellee seeks a fourteen-day extension of time to file her brief, making the due date

       March 2, 2015.

4.     Appellee seeks this extension of time to file her brief because Attorney Shawn H. Smith,

       has had multiple scheduling conflicts over the past month, including several felony cases

       which needed to be disposed of through trial or hearings and demanded a large

       investment of time.

5.     No previous extensions of time to file the motion for rehearing in this cause have been

                                                  1
        sought or granted.

6.      The undersigned counsel does not believe the additional time requested will prejudice or

        inconvenience the Appellant.

                                              PRAYER

THEREFORE, the Appellee prays that this Court issue an order granting the extension of time to

file the Appellee’s Brief in the above case, and grant all such relief as is fair and just.

                                           Respectfully submitted,
