                                      ATTORNEY FOR APPELLANTS

                               -1 -
      Appellants James Poe and Senior Retirement Planners, LLC request

an extension of the deadline for the filing of their Reply Brief pursuant to

Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b) and 38.6(c).

      1.    Appellants filed their opening brief on March 11, 2015.

      2.    Appellee's brief was filed on July 14, 2015.

      3.    Appellants' reply brief is currently due on or before August 3,

2014. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(c). Appellants ask the Court to extend

Appellants' reply brief deadline to August 28, 2015, an extension of twenty-

five days. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b)(1)(A)-(B).

      4.    Appellants seek an extension of the deadline to file their Reply

Brief because counsel for Appellants requires additional time to prepare the

reply brief. The record in this case is large and will require significant time

to review in order to accurately and adequately brief the issues and cite the

record to the Court.   In addition, counsel for Appellants has a contested

evidentiary hearing currently scheduled for July 29, 2015, anticipates taking

several depositions in the next three weeks, and will be out of the office on

vacation for two or more days during the week of August 3, 2015. See Tex.

R. App. P. 10.5(b)(1)(C).

      5.   Appellants have not sought any prior extensions of time to file

briefs in this matter. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b)(1)(D).

                                       -2-
      6.    Counsel for Appellee does not oppose this motion.

      Appellants James Poe and Senior Retirement Planners, LLC pray

that the Court will grant an extension of time to file Appellants' reply brief

until August 28, 2015.

                                           Respectfully submitted,
