TO THE HONORABLE FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS:

      COME NOW Appellees and file their Objection and Opposition to Second

“Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief.” The Motion wholly fails

to comply with TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5, in that it contains none of the proper procedural

history of the case, seeks no new deadline, and provides no proper reason for an

extension. The Motion is instead an unverified attack against Appellees Walter

Mortgage Company, et al, with no basis whatsoever. This is not a Motion for

Extension of Time. In addition, no Certificate of Conference is included, and indeed

counsel for Appellees were not consulted before the filing of this Motion. Nor were

counsel for Appellees consulted prior to the filing of Appellants’ First Motion for

Extension of Time, which likewise did not include a certificate of conference but

was granted nonetheless.

      Appellees Walter Mortgage Company et al object to and oppose in all things

this filing, which should be struck as failing to comply with any Rule of Appellate

Procedure. This is not a proper Motion for Extension of Time.

      Appellees further object to an extension of time of any length (which is

unknown, given that no length is stated in the motion). Appellants must comply

with the Rules and file their Brief now that one 30-day extension has already been

granted.
                                          2

 
      Appellants have not complied with the Rules when filing a motion for

extension of time. Their current motion should in all things be struck and the relief

requested denied.

                                      PRAYER

        WHEREFORE Appellees pray the Court to sustain their objection and

opposition to Appellants’ Second “Motion for Extension of Time” and strike the

motion. At a minimum the Court must overrule the motion. Appellees pray for all

other and further relief to which they are entitled.

                                 Respectfully submitted,

                                 /s/ Audrey Mullert Vicknair__
