                  JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE
                APPELLANT’S AND CROSS-APPELLANT’S BRIEF

         Appellant Perry D. Felix d/b/a Han's Laser Technology Co. (“Felix”)

and Cross-Appellant Prosperity Bank (“Prosperity”) file this Joint Motion

for Extension of Time to File Appellant’s and Cross-Appellant’s Briefs

pursuant to TRAP 38.6 and TRAP 10.5 (b), and would respectfully show the

Court the following:

         1.       Appellant’s and Cross-Appellant’s Briefs are calendared as due on

February 23, 2015. No previous extensions have been requested.

         2.       This motion is not brought for purpose of delay, rather that

justice may be done.

         3.       Specifically, the original clerk’s record was filed January 22, 2015.

Prosperity requested a supplemental clerk’s record on January 29, 2015 and a

second supplemental clerk’s record on January 30, 2015.               We have been

informed by the district clerk that such record(s) will not be available until

March 2, 2015. Accordingly, the parties ask the Court’s indulgence to afford

the district clerk adequate time to supplement the record.

         4.       Based on the foregoing and in the interest of justice, the

undersigned ask the Court for an extension time of at least 30 days for filing

their respective Appellant’s and Cross-Appellant’s Briefs.

         WHEREFORE, Appellant Perry D. Felix d/b/a Han's Laser Technology

Co. and Cross-Appellant Prosperity Bank respectfully request that the Court

grant this motion and extend for 30 days or such other period as the Court

may determine the time for the filing of Appellant’s and Cross-Appellant’s

Briefs.
