                    The 98th District Court Of Travis County, Texas
                         The Honorable Tim Sulak, Presiding
          __________________________________________________________

                UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
           TO FILE APPELLANTS’ FURTHER MOTION FOR REHEARING
         ___________________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

Appellants, SANADCO, INC. ET AL, pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5 (b) and
49.8, move this Honorable Court to extend the time for filing its Further Motion
for Rehearing, and for cause would show unto the Court the following:
1. This Court issued its judgment and opinion on Rehearing in this cause on
   March 25, 2015, reversing its opinion of September 26, 2013 on other
   grounds. Accordingly, the Further Motion for Rehearing is currently due on
   April 9, 2015. Petitioners request a 30-day extension, creating a new
   deadline of May 9, 2015.

2. Counsel for Appellants is a semi-retired solo practitioner with a home office
   practice and no staff, who maintains a limited practice due to a heart
   condition and diabetes. This extension of time is being requested because
   Appellants have had insufficient time to prepare the Further Motion for
   Rehearing due to illness and the extensive research required as a result of the
   court’s reversal on grounds which had not previously been considered by the
   court or briefed by the Appellants.

3. In addition, counsel is involved in the preparation of an expedited appeal in
   Case No. 03-14-00771-CV, filed in this Court on December 3, 2014 from a
   judgment entered in Cause No. D-1-GN-13- 04352 on November 13, 2014
   and is due on Monday, April 13, 2015. He is also preparing an as yet unfiled
   Petition for Writ of Mandamus to this Court from a judgment entered in
   Cause No. D-1-GN-12-003918 on October 23, 2014.

4. For these reasons, Appellants respectfully request that the Court
   grant a 30-day extension of time for filing this Further Motion for
   Rehearing, creating a new deadline of May 9, 2015.

5. This is the first motion for extension of time for filing the Further Motion for
   Rehearing in this cause.
   6. This motion is not being sought for delay, but so that the interests of justice
      may be served.
   WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Petitioners respectfully move
this Honorable Court to grant this motion for extension of time and extend the time
for filing the Further Motion for Rehearing in this cause to May 9, 2015.

                                       Respectfully submitted,
