 AMERISURE INSURANCE COMPANY, SWAMPLOT INDUSTRIES LLC,
    LAURENCE DAVID ALBERT AND BETH ANNE BRINSDON,

                                                Appellees,
            ____________________________________________

    On Appeal from the 151st Judicial District Court, Harris County, Texas
                  Trial Court Cause Number 2012-49262
          ____________________________________________

                   APPELLANT’S THIRD MOTION
              FOR EXTENSION FOR TIME TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE FOURTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:

  1. On November 20, 2014, the Court granted Appellant’s Motion for Extension

    for Time to File Brief and Compel Supplement to Clerk’s Record. The time

     was extended to and including Monday, December 29, 2014. Appellant

     needed additional time because the clerk had not filed the complete record.

     On December 12, 2014, 22 days after the Court ordered the clerk to file a

     supplemental clerk’s record, the clerk filed the supplemental record. For this
   reason, the Court granted Appellant a second extension of time to

   Wednesday, January 28, 2015.

2. Appellant’s brief is currently due on January 28, 2015. Pursuant to Tex. R.

   App. P. 38.6(d) and 10.5(b)(1), Appellant respectfully requests a thirty-day

   extension of time to file his brief because Appellant experienced an

   electrical power surge that caused Appellant’s Brief in electronic file format

   to become corrupted. Appellant has recovered an earlier saved version,

   however Appellant will have to recreate the index of authorities that was not

   saved before the electrical power surge. Appellant could not reasonably

   complete his brief before the current deadline in twenty-four hours.

3. Appellant contacted appellee’s counsel for a response to this motion,

   however appellee’s counsel did not respond to appellant.

4. Two prior extensions were requested and granted.

                                  PRAYER

5. For these reasons, Appellant respectfully requests the Court to (1) GRANT

   his Appellant’s Third Motion for Extension for Time to File Brief, and (2)

   GRANT Appellant a thirty-day extension to file his Appellant’s brief, and

   (3) Appellant further requests any and all other relief to which he is entitled.
                                    Respectfully submitted,
