                                   ATTORNEY FOR APPELLEE
TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1 and 38.6(d), the Appellee, Josefino
Bencomo III files this Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File
Appellee’s Brief.

Appellee’s opening brief is currently due on April 20, 2015.

Counsel for Appellee requests a two week extension of time to file its brief,
making the brief due on May 4, 2015. This is the first request for extension of
time to file the opening brief.

Counsel for Appellee relies on the following reasons, in addition to the routine
matters that counsel must attend to in daily practice, to explain the need for the
requested extension:

Counsel is recovering from a recent medical procedure and, as a result, he will
not be able to prepare the brief in time to meet the Court’s briefing deadline
absent an extension.

Counsel for Appellee seeks this extension of time to be able to prepare a cogent
and succinct brief to aid this Court in its analysis of the issues presented. This
request is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done.

The undersigned has conferred with opposing counsel, and he has indicated
that his client does not oppose this motion.

All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the
counsel signing this motion, therefore no verification is necessary under Rule
of Appellate Procedure 10.2.

                           PRAYER FOR RELIEF

For the reasons set forth above, Appellant/Appellee requests that this Court
grant this Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File
Appellant/Appellee’s Brief and extend the Deadline for Filing the Appellee’s
Brief up to and including May 4, 2015.
                                     Respectfully submitted,

                                     FRED E. WALKER, P.C.
