                    TIME TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

       Appellee City of Aledo (“Aledo”) files this, its Motion for an Extension of Time

to File a Motion for Rehearing in the above-referenced cause. For support, Aledo

respectfully offers the following:

       Aledo’s Motion for Rehearing is currently due July 23, 2015. Aledo requests that

the deadline be extended until September 4, 2015, 43 days from the current deadline.

       Counsel for Republic Waste Services of Texas, Ltd. (“Republic”), the Texas

Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”), and the City of Willow Park are

UNOPPOSED to this request for an extension of time.

                              REASONS FOR REQUEST

       Aledo requests an extension of time to file its Motion for Rehearing because the

City’s management will not be able to consider the court’s opinion, and the attorney

responsible for preparing this Motion, Eric Allmon, will not be able to begin preparations
for or complete the motion within the current deadline of July 23, 2015, despite the

exercise of diligence:

   1. At the time of issuance of the opinion, the Mayor of the City of Aledo was on

       vacation, lasting until July 13, 2015.

   2. The first meeting of the Aledo City Council after issuance of the opinion will be

       on July 23, at which time it will consider the Court’s opinion.

   3. Mr. Allmon is preparing prefiled testimony in the Matter of the Application for

       Creation of Travis County Municipal Utility District No. 22, due July 17, 2015

       (State Office of Administrative Hearings Docket No. XXX-XX-XXXX).

   4. Mr. Allmon will be on vacation August 7 – 16, 2015.

                             CONCLUSION AND PRAYER

       For the foregoing reasons, Aledo respectfully requests an additional 43 days, up to

and including September 4, 2015, to file its Motion for Rehearing. This is Aledo’s first

request for an extension of time to file this Motion.

                                                  Respectfully Submitted,

                                                         /s/ Eric Allmon
