                  PLEASANT HILL ROCKY COMMUNITY CLUB

                                                         Appellee

     ON APPEAL FROM THE 33RD DISTRICT COURT, BLANCO COUNTY, TEXAS
                HONORABLE J. ALLAN GARRETT PRESIDING
                         CAUSE NO. CV07580

  UNOPPOSED FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO
               FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:
     Appellant respectfully presents this unopposed first motion to extend
the time in which to file their Appellant’s Brief pursuant to Texas Rule of
Appellate Procedure 38.6. No previous motions for extension of time to file
the Appellant’s Brief have been filed. In support of this motion, appellant
would show the Court as follows:
                                       I.
      Appellant’s principal brief is currently due on March 16, 2015.
Because of the events and matters described more fully below, appellant
requests an extension of an additional 30 days in which to file the
Appellant’s Brief or until April 15, 2015.
                                      II.
      The requested extension is necessary because the following matters
have prevented the undersigned from completing the Appellant’s Brief and
will preclude the undersigned from doing so sooner than April 15, 2015:

      1.    The undersigned is preparing a reply brief in Philip Wayne
            Hindes and Melinda Hindes Eustace v. La Salle County et al.,
            No. 04-14-00651-CV, which is currently due on March 27, 2015;
      2.    The undersigned prepared motions to exclude evidence in order
            to meet a pretrial deadline in Martha Elvia Bolanos et al. v.
            General Motors et al., No. 7,478, in the 49th Judicial District
            Court, Zapata County, Texas;
      3.    The undersigned will be conducting legal research and related
            tasks to prepare for an oral argument to be conducted in City of
            San Antonio v. Casey Industrial, Inc. and Wheelbrator Air
            Pollution Control, Inc., No. 04-14-00429-CV, which will be held
            on April 2, 2015; and
      4.    The undersigned was nominated to run for President-Elect of
            the Texas Young Lawyers Association and has had expended
            considerable time preparing for the campaign and will be
            conducting a state-wide campaign during the month of March.
For all of the reasons explained above, counsel for appellant cannot

complete the Appellant’s Brief by its current due date of March 16, 2015,

and needs an additional 30 days in which to do so.

                                       2
                                     III.

      On March 2, 2015, the undersigned conferred with Jeff Small, lead

appellate counsel for appellees. Mr. Small indicated that this motion would

not be opposed.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, appellant respectfully

request that this Court grant his motion for extension of time in which to file

the Appellant’s Brief, extend the deadline in which to file the brief an

additional 30 days up to and including April 15, 2015, and grant such other

and further relief to which appellant may be justly and equitably entitled.

                                      Respectfully submitted,

                                      /s/ Samuel V. Houston, III
