                     ATTORNEYS FOR APPELLANTS
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

        Appellants, David Tubb and Superior Shooting System, Inc., ask the Court

to extend the time for filing their appellants’ brief by 30 days to and including

Wednesday, April 8, 2015.

                                       1.
                        Information Required by Rule 10.5,
                                 Tex. R. App. P.

The following information supports this request.

(i)     Appellants’ brief is currently due to be filed March 9, 2015.

(ii)    Appellants request that the deadline for filing their brief be extended by 30

        days to and including Wednesday, April 8, 2015.

(iii)   This is Appellants’ first request to extend the briefing deadline.

                                         2.
                            Facts Explaining the Need to
                            Extend the Briefing Deadline

        Counsel is unable to complete the appellants’ brief and secure the necessary

client review and approval by the current deadline. Besides work on this brief,

Greg Smith, lead counsel on appeal, has been and will be required to divide his

available briefing time among the following matters:

(i)     No. 13-0986, Southwestern Energy Production Company vs. Toby Berry-Helfand and

        Gery Muncey, In the Supreme Court of Texas (brief on merits);

                                            2
(ii)    No. 13-3138-A, Donald Lopez, et al. v. BMB Transportation, et al., In the 7th

        District Court of Smith County, Texas (summary judgment and Daubert/Robinson

        filings);

(iii)   No. 5:14-cv-82-MHS, Margie Campbell v. Bienville Holdings, Ltd., d/b/a At

        Home Healthcare, et al., In the United States District Court for the Eastern

        District of Texas, Texarkana Division (summary judgment filing); and

(iv)    No. 12-14-00288-CV, J. Mark Swinnea v. ERI Consulting Engineers, Inc. and

        Larry Snodgrass, In the Twelfth Court of Appeals, Tyler, Texas (appellant’s

        brief).

                                           3.

        This motion is not sought solely for delay, but in the interest of justice and

to ensure that Appellants’ brief sufficiently aids the Court’s decisional process.

                                        4.
                        Conference with Opposing Counsel

        Keith Dollahite, counsel for Appellees, states that the relief requested in this

motion is unopposed.

                                            3
                                     5.
                            Conclusion and Prayer

      Appellants, David Tubb and Superior Shooting System, Inc., pray that the

Court would extend the time for filing their appellants’ brief by 30 days to and

including Wednesday, April 8, 2015.

                                           Respectfully submitted,
