             APPELLEES’ UNOPPOSED FIRST MOTION TO
           EXTEND TIME TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING

TO THE FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellees ARD MOR, INC., TEXAS ARDMOR PROPERTIES, LP, and

TEXAS ARDMOR MANAGEMENT, LLC ask the Court to extend the time to file

their motion for rehearing.

                              A. INTRODUCTION

      1.     Appellant is LOCKHILL VENTURES, LLC; Appellees are ARD MOR,

INC., TEXAS ARDMOR             PROPERTIES,   LP,   and    TEXAS ARDMOR

MANAGEMENT, LLC.

                                      1
      2.     This motion is filed within the 15-day period to file a motion to extend

the time to file a motion for rehearing, as required by Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 49.8.

      3.     This Court has the authority under Rule 49.8 to extend the time for a

party to file a motion for rehearing.

      4.     Appellees’ motion for rehearing is currently due on July 23, 2015.

      5.     Appellees request an additional 15 days to file the motion for rehearing,

extending the time until August 7, 2015.

      6.     Appellees request additional time to file the motion for rehearing

because the undersigned counsel is currently and extensively involved in briefing

related to the City of West Texas v. CF Industries Sales, LLC, et al, Cause No. 2013-

2476-4, otherwise known as the West Texas Explosion Cases, pending in the 170th

District Court of McLennan County. Texas. The undersigned counsel’s deadline to

complete all briefing is July 23, 2015, the same day that Appellee’s motion for

rehearing is currently due to be filed.

      7.     Based on the foregoing, Appellees request an additional 15 days to file

their motion, extending the time until August 7, 2015.

      9.     No prior extensions of time to file the motion have been requested or

granted.

                                           2
       10.   This extension is not sought for delay, but so that the complex legal

issues involved in the parties’ dispute can be developed and so that justice may be

had.

                                   B. PRAYER

       11.   For these reasons, Appellees pray that this Motion be granted and that

this Court grant an extension of time to file their motion for rehearing until August

7, 2015, or for other and further relief to which Appellees may be entitled.

                                       Respectfully submitted,
