                                  1
TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      Real Party in Interest Cody Treybig (“Treybig”) respectfully requests a ten

day extension of time to file its Response to the Relator’s Petition for Writ of

Mandamus (“Response”) and shows the Court the following:

      1.     Under the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure there is no specific

deadline to file this motion to extend time or to file a response to a petition for writ

of mandamus.

      2.     On November 14, 2016, the Court requested that Treybig file his

Response on or before Monday, November 28, 2016, which is the Monday after

Thanksgiving.

      3.     Treybig seeks a ten day extension because of several unavoidable, pre-

existing deadlines and professional obligations of Treybig’s counsel in other matters,

including an evidentiary hearing on Monday, November 28, 2016, all of which have

required or will require significant commitments of time.

      4.     Relator Lawrence is unopposed to this motion.

      5.     Treybig requests an additional ten days to file its brief, extending the

time until December 8, 2016.

                                      PRAYER

      For these reasons, Treybig asks the Court to grant it an extension of time to

file its Response until December 8, 2016.
