      Counsel for Appellant, James Richardson
      Comes now Appellant James Richardson, pursuant to Texas Rules of Civil

Procedure 10.5(b)(1), and requests additional time to file his Appellant’s Reply

Brief. In support of this motion, Richardson states as follows:

      1. The Notice of Appeal of this matter was filed in the 3rd Court of Appeals

         (the “Court”) on May 28, 2014;

      2. Appellant filed the Docketing Statement with the Court on June 6, 2014;

      3. Appellant immediately requested the Reporter’s Record and the Clerk’s

         Record from County Court No. 2 in Travis County, Texas.

      4. The Reporter’s Record, and the Supplemental Reporter’s Record, were

         filed with the Court on June 11, 2014, and June 18, 2014, respectively.

      5. The Clerk’s Record was filed with the Court on June 24, 2014.

      6. The Supplemental Clerk’s Record was filed September 2, 2014.

      7. The Appellant filed its brief on September 26, 2014.

      8. The Appellee filed its brief on December 18, 2014.

      9. The due date of Appellant’s Reply Brief is January 7, 2015, which is the

         current deadline for the filing of that brief, and for which the Appellant

         seeks this extension;

      10.Appellant requests an extension to file Appellant’s Reply Brief, up to and

         including January 23, 2015;

      11.The requested extension is unopposed;
      12.In support of this Motion, Appellant states that the additional time is

         sought for the purpose of allowing counsel adequate time to prepare the

         brief; further, that Appellant counsel’s office is a small law office with an

         active litigation and trial practice, and that the prior obligations of

         counsel to trial, discovery and other matters, as well as previously-

         planned vacations and the extension of time granted to Appellee’s

         counsel for the filing of the appellee brief, necessitate the additional time

         requested herein; and, further, that the extension requested herein is not

         intended to cause undue delay, prejudice or unnecessary hardship on any

         party; and,

      13.Appellant has not requested, and has not been granted, any previous

         extensions of time for the filing of his Appellant’s Reply Brief.

      WHEREFORE, Appellant requests an extension up to and including January

23, 2015, to file Appellant’s Reply Brief.
      Dated this 5th day of January 2015.

                                            Respectfully submitted,
