                                                  v.

       DAVID’S LANDSCAPING AND DAVID’S LANDSCAPING, INC,
                            Appellee.

  On Appeal from the County Court at Law Number Two of Travis County,
                                 Texas
                    Trial Cause No. C-1-CV-12-001119

                   APPELLEE’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF
                       TIME TO FILE APPELLEE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

       COMES NOW, Appellee, David’s Landscaping and David’s Landscaping, Inc., and

pursuant to the Texas Rules of Appellee Procedure 38.6(d) and 10.5(b), files this Motion for

Extension of Time to File Appellee Brief and in support thereof would show as follows:

                                                  I.

       Appellee’s brief in this case is currently due December 21, 2015. For reasons set forth

below, Appellee is requesting an extension of 21-days until January 11, 2015 to file its Appellee

brief. This is the first request for an extension of time to file its brief made by Appellee. This

request is not being filed for purposes of delay, but so that justice may be done.

                                                 -1-
                                                 II.

       Appellant has filed this appeal in multiple docket numbers, but Appellee believes the

instant to be the docket number this appeal will be proceeding under. Appellee’s counsel

requests the extension due to a number of unexpected events requiring his attention. Recently he

completed trial in an unrelated matter and remains committed to handling a number of

unanticipated post-trial items in that matter. Additionally, due the holiday season and staff taking

vacation leave, Appellee’s counsel’s resources are limited in availability.

       WHEREFORE, Appellee respectfully requests that this Court grant this Motion for

Extension of Time to File Appellee’s Brief and extend the time to file said brief from December

21, 2015 to January 11, 2015.

                                             Respectfully submitted,
