TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellee Tracy D. Strandhagen (“Appellee”) respectfully requests this Court

for a 10-day extension of time to file Appellee’s Brief and shows the Court the

following:

      1.     There is no specific deadline to file this motion to extend time. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(d).

      2.     Appellants Noah S. Bunker, Paul Carrell, Everett Brew Houston, Jr.,

W. Andrew Buchholz, Scott J. Leighty, Jad L. Davis, and Holly Clause

(“Appellants”) are unopposed to this motion.

      3.     The Court has the authority under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure

38.6(d) to extend the time to file a brief.

      4.     Appellant’s brief was filed on January 14, 2015, after this Court

granted two unopposed extensions of time for Appellant to file such brief.

      5.     Appellee’s brief is due on February 13, 2015.

      6.     Appellee requests an additional 10 days to file her brief, extending the

time until February 23, 2015.
         7.    No extension has been granted to extend the time to file Appellee’s

brief.

         8.    The requested extension is unfortunately necessitated by several

unavoidable, pre-existing deadlines and professional obligations by Appellee’s

counsel in other matters, all of which have required or will require significant

commitments of time before February 13, 2015.

                                     PRAYER

         For these reasons, Appellee Tracy D. Strandhagen asks the Court to grant

her an extension of time to file her brief until February 23, 2015.

Brief, and Ms. Taylor is unopposed to such Motion.
