                                                                     1
                     APPELLANT'S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME
                               TO FILE BRRIEF


      Appellant, Costella Nicole Willis, asks the Court to extend the time to file her

brief in accordance with Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b).

       1.      Appellant's brief is currently due on August 10, 2015.

      2.       There is no specific deadline to file this motion to extend in accordance

            with Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d). The Court has the authority to extend the time

            to file the brief.

      3.       Appellant requests that her time to file the brief be set for October 10,

            2015, as Appellant's counsel, a sole practitioner, has just completed a jury trial

            and has already begun preparing for three more jury trials for the month of

            August, and simply needs more time to adequately prepare a brief in this case.

      4.       No previous extension has been sought or granted to extend time to file

            Appellant's brief.

      5.       Appellee, who is Pro Se, has not filed any documents in this case.

      6.       The parties have not agreed to this motion.

      For these reasons, Appellant asks the Court to grant an extension of time to file

her brief until at least October 10, 2015.
