           APPELLEE TEXAS FAIR PLAN ASSOCIATION’S
                 MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
    ____________________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellee Texas Fair Plan Association files this Motion for Extension of

Time pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and would

respectfully show the following:

                                         I.

      Appellant Farha Rasheed filed her Appellant’s Brief on December 4, 2015.

Appellee’s Brief is presently due on January 4, 2016.
                                           II.

         Appellee seeks a thirty (30) day extension of time to file its Appellee’s Brief

because of the intervening holiday and the undersigned counsel’s prior

commitment to other litigation matters.

                                           III.

         This is Appellee’s first request for an extension of time to file Appellee’s

Brief.

                                           IV.

         This request for an extension of time is not sought for the purpose of delay

only, but so that justice may be done.

                                       PRAYER

         WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellee, Texas Fair Plan

Association, respectfully prays that this Court grant its Motion and extend the due

date for Appellee’s Brief to February 3, 2016.

                                            2
                                    Respectfully submitted,
