Appellant's Motion for Extension of Time to File Brief                                Pg. 1
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

        APPELLANTS FEMI S. ONABAJO AND CHRISTY ALFRED ONABAJO

ask the Court to extend the time to file their brief.

                                            A. Introduction

        1.      Appellants are FEMI S. ONABAJO AND CHRISTY ALFRED

ONABAJO (“Appellant”); Appellee is HOUSEHOLD FINANCE CORP. III

(“Household”).

        2.      The deadline to file Appellant's Brief is November 23, 2015.

        3.      Appellant requests a two day extension of time to file Appellant's Brief.

Due to holiday air travel delays, Appellant filed their brief on November 24, 2015.

        4.      There is no specific deadline to file this motion to extend time. See Tex.

R. App. P. 38.6(d).

        5.      Rule 10.5(b) authorizes Appellant to request an extension of time to file

Appellant's Brief and the Court has authority to extend the time to file the Appellant's

Brief under Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d).

       6.       The length of the extension sought is two days.

        7.      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.

        8.      The undersigned, as attorney for Appellant, requests a two extension for

Appellant's Motion for Extension of Time to File Brief                            Pg. 2
the deadline to file Appellant's Brief.

        For these reasons, Appellant asks the Court to grant this motion and extend the

time for filing its Appellant’s Brief for 60 days.

                                                Respectfully submitted,
