       ATTORNEYS FOR CROSS-APPELLANT
   TEXAS WINDSTORM INSURANCE ASSOCIATION
      Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b), Cross-Appellant

Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (“TWIA”) files its Unopposed Second

Motion for extension of Time to file its brief.

      TWIA’s cross-appellant brief is currently due on June 15, 2015. This is

TWIA’s second request for an extension of thirty days in which to file its brief,

which would make the cross-appellant brief due on July 15, 2015. Appellant

League City has also requested a second thirty-day extension to file its brief, which

this Court granted on June 5, 2015, making League City’s appellant brief also due

on July 15, 2015. TWIA agreed not to oppose League City’s first two requests for

extension and League City has not opposed this request.

      TWIA needs a thirty-day extension of time to file its brief because it is

awaiting supplementation of both the Clerk’s record and the Court Reporter’s

record, which it will need to pursue its appellate remedies in addition to the partial

record requested and filed by League City. Also, counsel has other deadlines and

responsibilities which also demand his attention. A short, thirty-day extension of

time would allow for preparation of the brief.

      This extension is not sought for delay but that justice may be done. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b)(1)(C).

                                      PRAYER
      For these reasons, Cross-Appellant Texas Windstorm Insurance Association

prays this Court grant a thirty-day extension of time to file its brief, to and
                                          2
including July 15, 2015. Cross-Appellant also prays for such further relief to

which it may be entitled.

                                       Respectfully submitted,

                                       BRACEWELL & GIULIANI LLP
