                               the Estate of Jose Abraham Vasquez, Jr.
                               v.
                               Legend Natural Gas III, LP, et al

      Dear Mr. Hottle:

            With regard to the above referenced matter, I am filing this letter as
      requested by your office over the phone this morning.

             Enterprise Products Holdings LLC and Enterprise Products Company (the
      “Enterprise Defendants”) have agreed to allow counsel for other appellees to
      present oral argument for the appellees’ side. Counsel from our firm will attend
      and observe argument on behalf of the Enterprise Defendants, but we will not
      present oral argument. The Enterprise Defendants continue to assert all arguments
      raised in their Brief of Appellees.

             It is our understanding that the law firm of Davis, Cedillo & Mendoza, Inc.,
      will present oral argument for the appellees’ side. Davis, Cedillo & Mendoza, Inc.,
      represents Legend Natural Gas III, LP, and Legend Natural Gas, LLC, in this
      appeal. We do not know if any of the other appellees intend to present oral
      argument.
