                          OF SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS
                         TRIAL CAUSE NO. 13-2492-C

      APPELLEES’ UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE SIXTH COURT OF APPEALS:

      COME NOW Appellees and file this their Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File

Brief, filed pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), and would

respectfully show unto the Court as follows:

APPELLEES’ UNOPPOSED MOTION TO
EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF                                                   PAGE 1 OF 3
1.     The deadline to file Appellees’ Brief is January 29, 2015.

2.     Counsel for Appellees has a case currently set for Trial in the Eastern District of

       Texas, Marshall Division on February 9, 2015, and counsel will be meeting with

       witnesses and preparing for this Trial. Appellees’ request a 30-day extension to file

       their Brief.

3.     This is Appellees’ first request for an extension of the deadline to file Appellees’

       responsive brief and is not sought for purposes of undue delay, but so that the

       Appellees may have time to adequately respond to Appellants’ arguments and craft

       a brief which will aid the Court in deciding the very important issues presented in

       this appeal.

        Appellants do not oppose the relief requested in this Motion.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellees respectfully request that the

Court extend the time to file their Brief to February 27, 2015, and for any and all other relief

to which they have shown themselves to be justly entitled.

                                            Respectfully submitted,
