 APPELLANT’S AMENDED THIRD UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE
                              BRIEF

        Appellant asks the Court to extend the time to file his brief.
                                         A. INTRODUCTION
1.      Appellant is Raghunath Dass, Ph.D., P.E.; Appellee is the Texas Board of Professional
Engineers.
2.      There is no specific deadline to file this motion to extend time. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d).
3.      Appellant’s counsel has conferred with Appellee’s counsel, who stated that she is unopposed
to this motion and the proposed new time to file brief for Appellant.
                                  B. ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES
4.      The Court has the authority under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(d) to extend the
time to file a brief.
5.      Appellant’s brief is due on January 30, 2015.
6.      Appellant requests an additional 18 days to file his brief, extending the time until February
17, 2015.
7.      Two previous extensions has been granted to extend the time to file Appellant’s brief.
8.      Appellant needs additional time to file his brief because appellant’s attorney has been ill and
still recovering, because of unresolved confusion regarding the District Clerk’s filing a supplemental
record as a result of the District Court’s approval of Appellant’s/Plaintiff’s Second Amended Formal
Bill of Exception, and because of the convergence of deadlines upon appellant’s attorney for January
30 - 31, 2015, of which he was unaware when he sought the prior extension to January 30, 2015.
