THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT:

        Brenda Brewer, Deanna Meador, Penny Adams and Sabra Curry, Appellants,

respectfully present this unopposed motion requesting that the time for filing Appellants’

Brief be extended thirty (30) days, from January 28, 2015 to February 27, 2015. In

support of this motion, Appellants would show the Court as follows:

        1.   This motion is being filed prior to the time Appellants’ Brief is due. TRAP

38.6.
       2.     This appeal involves review of a trial court’s final judgment rendered on

May 12, 2014.

       3.     Appellants’ Brief is due on or before January 28, 2015.

       4.     Appellants request the Court order Appellants’ Brief to be due thirty (30)

days from date the brief is currently due, or on or before February 27, 2015, because of

significant scheduling conflicts for their appellate counsel as detailed below.

       5.     Appellate Counsel for Appellant, Brendan K. McBride, has been preparing

for two oral arguments since the record in this case was filed on December 28, 2014. The

first is set for January 6, 2015 in the Fourteenth Court of appeals in a case styled River

Oaks L-M, Inc. v. Vinton-Duarte, Cause No. 14-14-00059-CV. The second is scheduled

before the Supreme Court of Texas on January 13, 2015 in a case styled JAW The Pointe,

LLC v. Lexington Insurance Company, Cause No. 13-0711. In addition, Mr. McBride

has a reply brief due on January 27, 2015, in an appeal pending in the Fourth Court of

Appeals, styled De Los Santos v. Ford Motor Co., Cause No. 04-14-00562-CV. Finally,

Mr. McBride has a pre-paid vacation with family scheduled for the first week of February

2015 that was planned before complications arose with the filing of the reporters’ record

delayed the briefing schedule in this case.

       6.     In order for their counsel to give the necessary attention to the issues,

review of the record, and the preparation of their brief in this matter, Appellants request a

thirty (30) day extension of time to accommodate these scheduling conflicts.

       7.     This is the first extension Appellants have requested regarding Appellants’

briefing in this appeal.

                                              2
      8.       This extension is not requested for any purpose of delay, but so that justice

may be done.

      9.       Certificate of Conference: On January 5, 2015, the undersigned called

and left a message for counsel for Appellee, Holly Williamson, regarding the relief

requested in this motion. Appellee’s counsel’s office left a return message indicating

that this motion could be filed as UNOPPOSED.



                                          Respectfully submitted,
