            On Appeal from the 506th Judicial District Court

                 Trial Court Cause No. 13-03-21872

                 MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO
                      RESPOND TO MOTIONS

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

     NOW COME Appellants, Glenn Beckendorff, in his official capacity as

Waller County Judge, Frank Pokluda, in his official capacity as Waller County

Precinct Two Commissioner, and Stan Kitzman, and move the Court for an

extension of time to file their Response to Appellee’s Motion to Show

Authority, Motion for Damages Under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure, and
Motion to Dismiss (hereafter referred to as “Motions”), and shows the Court

as follows:

      The deadline to respond to the Motions is approximately June 15, 2015.

Counsel for Appellants, David Carp, was not involved in the underlying trial

and cannot respond to the Motions without first reviewing the Clerk’s record,

which has not been fully filed at this time. (See attached Affidavit of David

Carp).

      WHEREFORE, Appellants respectfully request an extension to respond

to the Motions until 30 days after the date the Clerk’s record is filed with the

Court so that counsel may have adequate time to review the record and file

appropriate responses to the Motions.

Dated: June 15, 2015                       Respectfully submitted,

                                           By:     /s/ David A. Carp
