                       FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                            TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF 1
TO THE HONORABLE FOURTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:

         Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1 and 38.6(d), the Appellant, Larry Lott

d/b/a Larry LottInteriors, files this First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant's

Brief.

         Appellant's opening brief is currently due on November 16,2015.

         Counsel for Appellant requests a 30-day extension of time to file its brief,

making the brief due on December 16, 2015. This is the first request for extension

oftime to file the opening brief.

         Counsel for Appellant relies on the following reasons, in addition to the

routine matters that counsel must attend to in daily practice, to explain the need for

the requested extension:

         Counsel for Appellant discovered on November 16, 2015 that the
         Clerk's record filed with the Court of Appeals is incomplete.
         Specifically, missing from the record is the Request for Jury Trial
         electronically filed by Defendant, Larry Lott d/b/a/ Larry Lott Interiors
         on March 11, 2015. Counsel for Appellant will need to request a
         supplemental record from the Clerk ofthe District Court.

         Counsel for Appellant seeks this extension of time to be able to prepare a

cogent and succinct brief with correct citations to the record to aid this Court in its

analysis of the issues presented. This request is not sought for delay but so that

justice may be done.

         The undersigned has attempted to confer with opposing counsel, and he was

not available and did not immediately respond to an email inquiry whether he

opposes or does not oppose this motion.
                                                  FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                                                        TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF     2
      All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the

counsel signing this motion, therefore no verification is necessary under Rule of

Appellate Procedure 10.2.

                              PRAYER FOR RELIEF

      For the reasons set forth above, Appellant requests that this Court grant this

First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant's Brief and extend the Deadline for

Filing the Appellant's Briefup to and including December 16, 2015. Appellant

prays for all other relief to which it may be entitled.
