       Re:    Appeals Docket No. 03-14-00735-CV; Trial Court Case No. D-1-GN-13-

Dear Mr. Kyle:

        The Office of Public Utility Counsel wishes to inform the Court that we do not intend to
file an Appellee’s Brief in this proceeding. OPUC has filed an Appellant’s Brief and anticipates
filing an Appellant’s Reply Brief and presenting oral argument, if granted.

                                            Respectfully submitted,

                                            /s/ Sara J. Ferris
