                UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
         _____________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 38.6(d) and 10.5(b), Appellee

Nancy Schaefer files this motion for extension of time and would respectfully show the

Court as follows:

                                           I.

      Appellant filed his brief on June 10, 2015. In this accelerated appeal, Appellee’s

brief currently is due on Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Appellee requests that the Court grant

a 20-day extension of time by which to file her brief. Granting this motion would

make the brief due on July 20, 2015.

                                           1
                                            II.

      Tragedy has struck the TAYLOR, DUNHAM AND RODRIGUEZ family, as David

Dunham’s young son died unexpectedly. While Mr. Dunham is not counsel of record

in this appeal, the sad situation has created uncertainty in the small firm’s docket.

Additional time would allow the partners to support each other during this difficult

time, personally and professionally.

       This extension is not sought for delay and is Ms. Schaefer’s first request for

extension of time in this case.

       Appellant, through counsel, indicates that he does not oppose the relief sought

in this motion.

                                         PRAYER
      Appellee Nancy Schaefer asks the Court to grant her a 20-day extension, making

her brief due on July 20, 2015. Appellee also prays for any and all further relief to which

she may be entitled.
