            APPELLANTS’ UNOPPOSED SECOND MOTION
          FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE OPENING BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellants, BUDDY CASTEEL AND JARET B. CASTEEL, respectfully

present their Second Motion for Extension of Time to file their Opening Brief

under TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(d), and would respectfully show the Court as follows:

                                        I.

      This is an accelerated appeal. Appellants’ Brief was due on February 19,

2015 and this Court stated it would not grant leave to file the brief beyond that

time barring exigent circumstances.

                                        II.

      On February 18, 2015, the undersigned’s son for whom he has full custody

broke his elbow from being hit by a baseball at school. The undersigned then was
out of the office on February 19, 2015 attending to his son first at an urgent care

clinic and then at an orthopedist. This was a totally unforeseen circumstance that

delayed completion of the brief that day.

                                         III.

      In light of this unforeseen circumstance, Appellants ask this Court to extend

the time to file Appellants’ Opening Brief for one day up to and including

February 20, 2015.

                                         IV.

      This motion is not brought for purposes of delay but solely that justice may

be served.

      WHEREFORE,          PREMISES          CONSIDERED,       Appellants    BUDDY

CASTEEL AND JARET B. CASTEEL ask the Court to extend the time to file

their opening brief one day until February 20, 2015. Appellants pray for such

other relief to which they may be entitled consistent with this Court’s decision.
