               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.

      Appellants filed their brief on March 16, 2015. Appellee’s brief currently is due

on Monday, April 6, 2015. Appellee requests that the Court grant a 30-day extension

of time by which to file her brief. Granting this motion would make the brief due

on May 6, 2015.

                                          1
                                                II.

       Appellee needs additional time because the Appellants’ Brief was filed while

appellate counsel, Lisa Bowlin Hobbs, was on vacation, cutting into her time to

respond. In addition, Ms. Hobbs has several other pre-existing deadlines:

              Handling post-judgment motions and briefing in Cause No. 7,637; Leon
               Oscar Ramirez, Jr., et al. v. ConocoPhillips Company, et al.; in the 49th Judicial
               District Court of Zapata County, Texas;

              Preparing Appellee’s Reply Brief in No. 03-14-00603-CV; In the Interest of
               R.H.M., a Child; pending in this Court, due on April 20, 2015; and

              Preparing for an expert witness deposition on April 15, 2015, in No. 2013-
               61098; Scott D. Martin and SKM Partnership, Ltd v. Andrews Kurth, LLP; in
               234th District Court of Harris County, Texas.
       This extension is not sought for delay but to allow Ms. Hobbs the opportunity

to properly prepare the brief. This is Appellee’s first request for extension of time in

this case.

       Appellants, through counsel, indicate that they are unopposed to the relief

sought in this motion.

                                                2

      Appellee Nancy Schaefer asks the Court to grant her a 30-day extension, making

her brief due on May 6, 2015. Appellee also prays for any and all further relief to which

she may be entitled.
