Appellants in the above-referenced cause, and submit the following status report
as ordered by the court in its letter of September 27, 2015, and reports the
following:
  1.       On October 6, 2015, Appellants filed a Motion for Extension of Time to file
    its Motion for Rehearing to the Texas Supreme Court in No. 15-0535, which was
    granted by the Court on that same date. The Motion for Rehearing was filed on
    November 12, 2015. The Court denied the Motion for Rehearing without
    opinion on December 18, 2005.
  2.       The Plea to the Jurisdiction in this cause was granted in part and denied
    in part by the trial court on December 8, 2015, and no further hearing date was
    set at that time. (copy attached). Plaintiff is preparing a motion for clarification
    of the judgment which will probably be filed after the holidays.
  3.       Appellants would therefore respectfully request the court to extend the
    abatement of this appeal for an additional 90 days to allow for rendition of a
    final judgment and filing and resolution of post judgment motions, if necessary.
ALL PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellants respectfully request this Court to extend
the abatement of this appeal for an additional 90 days to April 1, 2016 to permit
conclusion of trial on the merits in this cause.
                                                   Respectfully submitted,
