Cheryl Hill TO THE HONORABLE FOURTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:

       Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1 and 38.6(d), the Appellant, Cheryl Hill, files this

Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief.

       Appellant’s opening brief is currently due on August 5, 2015

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

the brief due on September 4, 2015. This is the first request for extension of time 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 has been participating in numerous depositions for

litigation pending in numerous counties including Harris County, Hidalgo County,

and Bexar County. Counsel has two trials scheduled in August, and counsel was

responsible for preparing responses to dispositive motions in those two cases.

Counsel also was responsible for an appellate brief in another matter that was filed

on July 8, 2015.

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

cogent and succinct brief 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 conferred with opposing counsel, and he has indicated that

his client does not oppose this motion.
       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

Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief and extend the

Deadline for Filing the Appellant’s Brief up to and including September 4, 2015.

Appellant all other relief to which it may be entitled.

                                                      Respectfully submitted,
