             THE CITY OF WILLOW PARK’S MOTION TO EXTEND
                  TIME TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

       Appellee, City of Willow Park (“Willow Park”), files this, its Motion for an

Extension of Time to File a Motion for Rehearing in the above-referenced cause, and would

show as follows:

       Willow Park’s Motion for Rehearing is currently due July 23, 2015. Willow Park

requests that the deadline be extended until September 4, 2015, 43 days from the current

deadline. This is Willow Park’s first request for an extension of time to file a motion for

rehearing.

       Counsel for Republic Waste Services of Texas, Ltd. (“Republic”) and for Texas

Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) are UNOPPOSED to this request for an

extension of time.

                                            1
                              REASONS FOR REQUEST

   Willow Park requests an extension of time to file its Motion for Rehearing because the

Willow Park management will not be able to consider the court’s opinion, and the attorney

responsible for preparing this Motion, Mary K. Sahs, will not be able to begin preparations

for or complete the motion within the current deadline of July 23, 2015, despite the exercise

of diligence:

   1. At the time of issuance of the opinion, the Mayor of the City of Willow Park was

       on vacation out of state until July 13, 2015.

   2. The first meeting of the Willow Park City Council after issuance of the opinion will

       be on July 14, at which time it will consider the Court’s opinion.

   3. Ms. Sahs will be on vacation July 20 – 26, 2015.

                                             2
                             CONCLUSION AND PRAYER

       For the foregoing reasons, Willow Park respectfully requests an additional 43 days,

up to and including September 4, 2015, to file its Motion for Rehearing. This is Willow

Park’s first request for an extension of time to file this Motion.

                                                   Respectfully Submitted,

                                                         /s/ Mary K. Sahs
