                     ATTORNEYS FOR APPELLANTS
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

        Appellants, David Tubb and Superior Shooting System, Inc., ask the Court

to extend the time for filing their appellants’ brief by five days to and including

Tuesday, November 3, 2015.

                                       1.
                        Information Required by Rule 10.5,
                                 Tex. R. App. P.

The following information supports this request.

(i)     Appellants’ reply brief is currently due to be filed October 29, 2015.

(ii)    Appellants request that the deadline for filing their brief be extended by five

        days to and including Tuesday, November 3, 2015.

(iii)   This is Appellants’ first request to extend the reply briefing deadline.

                                        2.
                          Facts Explaining the Need to
                        Extend the Reply Briefing Deadline

        Counsel is unable to complete the appellants’ reply brief and secure the

necessary client review and approval by the current deadline. Besides work on this

brief, Greg Smith, lead counsel on appeal, has been and will be required to divide

his available briefing time among the following matters:

(i)     No. 13-0986, Southwestern Energy Production Company vs. Toby Berry-Helfand and

        Gery Muncey, In the Supreme Court of Texas (oral argument);

                                            2
(ii)    Attendance at Advanced Civil Appellate Practice Course (Dallas video

        presentation);

(iii)   No. 6:14-cv-00718-MHS, UNUM Life Insurance Co. v. Blasingame, In the Sixth

        Court of Appeals, Texarkana, Texas, (summary-judgment briefing); and

(iv)    No. 12-0517, Harleton Oil & Gas, Inc. v. Frank M. Bufkin, III, et al., In the 71st

        Judicial District Court of Harrison County, Texas (summary-judgment hearing

        preparation).

                                            3.

        This motion is not sought solely for delay, but in the interest of justice and

to ensure that Appellants’ reply brief sufficiently aids the Court’s decisional

process.

                                         4.
                         Conference with Opposing Counsel

        Keith Dollahite, counsel for Appellees, states that the relief requested in this

motion is unopposed.

                                            3
                                      5.
                             Conclusion and Prayer

      Appellants, David Tubb and Superior Shooting System, Inc., pray that the

Court would extend the time for filing their appellants’ reply brief by five days to

and including Tuesday, November 3, 2015.

                                             Respectfully submitted,
