TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS:

        Grace River Ranch, LLC (Grace River), Appellee in this appeal and Plaintiff

Appellee's Brief, and in support of same would show this Court the following:

                                      Statement of Facts

1.       Summary Judgment in Trial Court. This case originated in the trial court

as an action styled Grace River Ranch, LLC v. El Caballero Ranch, Inc. a/k/a El

Caballero Ranch, LLC and Laredo Marine, LLC v. County of La Salle; No. 13-04-

00108-CV, 218th District Court, La Salle County, Texas.

                              Motion to Extend Time to File Brief

2.       Deadline to File Appellees' Brief. The deadline to file Appellees' Brief is

May 29, 2015.

3.       Length of Extension Sought. An extension is sought to file Appellee's

Brief through June 29, 2015.

4.       No Previous Extension Sought by Appellee. Appellee has sought no

previous extension of Appellee's briefing deadline.

5.      Reason that Extension is Sought. This extension is sought because of the

busy trial schedule of counsel for Appellee. Counsel has two appellate briefs

which are being handled at the same time which is an unusual event. Counsel's

secretary has been out for three weeks due to a severe illness and hospitalization

which has placed things generally behind on all fronts. This extension is not

sought for delay but to allow due consideration of Appellants' Brief and a detailed

response to it.
