     ______________________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE FOURTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:

       Appellee respectfully requests a thirty-day extension of time to file its
Appellee’s Brief, up to and including December 16, 2015, and in support
respectfully shows as follows:

1.     Appellant’s Brief was filed October 16, 2015, generating a due date for
       Appellee’s Brief of November 16, 2015.

2.     This is the first motion for an extension of time to file the brief. It is
       unopposed.

3.     The undersigned has a busy appellate practice, including related trial
       court motions and hearings, with the City. Among other briefs the
       undersigned has been, and continues to be, working on during this
       briefing period are:

       a. No. 15-20237, Ricardo Salazar-Limon v. City of Houston, et al., in the
           United States Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, Appellees’ Brief
           due November 18, 2015;
       b. In re City of Houston, No. 15-_____, in the Supreme Court of Texas,
           anticipated filing date November 23, 2015.

4.     The undersigned has conferred with the attorney for Appellant and he
       does not oppose the extension.

5.     This motion is not for delay but so that justice may be done.

       For these reasons, Appellee respectfully asks that the Court grant it a

thirty-day extension of time to file its brief, and grant any other relief to which

it is entitled.
                                    Respectfully submitted,
