  On Appeal from the 127th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas
                   Trial Court Cause No. 2013-53295


                APPELLANT’S UNOPPOSED MOTION
           TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE THE CLERK’S RECORD

TO THE HONORABLE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:

      Pursuant to Rule 10.5(b) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure,

Appellant, HARRIS COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT files this Unopposed

Motion to Extend the Time to File the Clerk’s Record, and in support thereof would

respectfully show the following:

            A. The Clerk’s Record was due to be filed on or before March 23, 2015.
             B. Appellant requests a forty-six (46) day extension of time to file the

                 Clerk’s Record, which, if granted, would make the record due on or

                 before Monday, May 11, 2015.

             C. Good cause exists for this extension because the parties have

                 tentatively settled this case, subject to approval of the Board of

                 Directors of the Harris County Appraisal District (“Board”).

                 Approval by the Board is required because Appellant is a

                 governmental entity.        In addition the Texas Property Tax Code

                 requires a judgment in order to effectuate the settlement. Tex. Tax

                 Code Ann. § 25.25(a) (West, Westlaw through 2013 sess.). Upon

                 approval by the Board, the parties will submit a motion to remand for

                 entry of an agreed final judgment.

             D. This is Appellant’s first request for an extension of time to file the

                 Clerk’s Record. No further request for an extension will be made,

                 absent compelling circumstances.

             E. Counsel for Appellees has been contacted and is not opposed to this

                 request, as set forth in the certificate of conference.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant respectfully prays that

this Court grant this Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File the Clerk’s Record

and set the deadline for filing the record on May 11, 2015.
