         UNOPPOSED SECOND MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING
      BRIEF OF APPELLANT, CITY NATIONAL BANK OF SULPHUR SPRINGS

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

       Appellant, CITY NATIONAL BANK OF SULPHUR SPRINGS, files this

unopposed motion requesting an extension of time to file its Brief of Appellant, and

would show unto the Court the following:

                                             I.

       This is Appellant’s second request for an extension of time in which to file its

brief. Appellant’s brief is due to be filed on September 16, 2015.

                                            II.

       The brief for Appellant is substantially complete, however, due to other

commitments counsel has been unable to adequately review the record, complete

research, and finalize the brief in this case. Those commitments include:
       1.      Serving as mediator in Matthew Sankovich v. Grecian Hotels,
               LLC, et al, No. 2011C-1405 in the 3rd Judicial District Court,
               Henderson County, Texas;

       2.      Attendance at hearing in Brandi Williams v. Tillerd Ardean
               Smith, et al, No. 12-0889 in the 71st Judicial District Court,
               Harrison County, Texas;

       3.      Attendance at depositions in Cristina Jordan Vega v. Pedro
               Cano d/b/a Cano’s Tax Service, Cause No. 33,435 in the 76th/
               276th District Court of Titus County, Texas;

       4.      Serving as mediator in Earline Lahman and Randy Lahman v.
               Cape Fox Corporation and Nationwide Provider Solutions, LLC,
               Cause No. 84414 in the 62nd District Court of Lamar County,
               Texas;

       5.      Assist in preparation of Respondents’ Brief on the Merits in
               Petrohawk Properties, L.P. and P-H Energy, L.L.C. v. Noel Diane
               Jones, et al, No. 15-0200 in the Supreme Court of Texas.

                                                III.

       Therefore, Appellant would request an extension of fourteen (14) days in which

to file its brief. The requested extension should not in the ordinary course of

procedure in this court delay oral argument and submission and is not requested for

delay but that justice be served.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant , CITY NATIONAL

BANK OF SULPHUR SPRINGS, prays that the time for filing its appellate brief be

extended fourteen (14) days until September 30, 2015.
