Appellee’s 2nd Motion to Extend

                      APPELLEE’S SECOND MOTION TO EXTEND TIME

        Appellee, Jetall Companies, Inc., asks the Court to extend the time to file its Appellee’s

Brief, and would show as follows.

                                          A. Introduction

        1.      Appellants are Don Abbott Holmes, Gayle Eisler Holmes, and The Community

Property Estate Of Don Abbott Holmes and Gale Eisler Holmes. Appellee is Jetall Companies,

Inc.

        2.      This motion is filed before the deadline for Appellee to file its Appellee’s Brief.

        3.      Counsel for Appellants has agreed to the granting of the relief sought in this motion.

                                   B. Argument & Authorities

        4.      The Court may grant an extension of time under the authority of Rule 38.6(d) of

the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.

        5.      The deadline to file Appellee’s Brief is October 9, 2015 and this motion is filed

prior to that date.

        6.      Appellee requests an additional 30 days to file its Appellee’s Brief, extending the

time until Monday, November 9, 2015.

        7.      This is the second motion to extend the time to file Appellee’s Brief.

        8.      The Court has previously granted a 30-day extension to file their Appellants’ Brief.

        9.      Appellee needs additional time to file Appellee’s Brief because of difficulties in

obtaining qualified appellate counsel and because overseas travel on urgent personal business has

caused Appellee’s decision maker to be unavailable for periods of time and therefore unable to

retain appellate counsel.

Appellee’s 2nd Motion to Extend
Time to File Appellee’s Brief                                                                Page 2
                                          C. Conclusion

        10.    Appellee has shown that Appellants are agreed to the granting of this motion, the

Court has the authority to grant Appellee an extension, and there is good cause to grant the

requested extension.

                                            D. Prayer

        11.    For these reasons, Appellee asks the Court to grant an extension of time to file

Appellee’s Brief until November 9, 2015.
