             APPELLANT'S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE
                APPELLANT'S MOTION FOR REHEARING

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS

      Appellant, Anambra State Community In Houston, under the authority of

Tex.R.App.P. 10.5(b), asks the Court to extend time to file the motion for

rehearing.

      1.     The Court issued its opinion on March 8, 2018.

      2.     Appellant's Motion for Rehearing is due on March 23, 2018.

      3.     Appellant requests an additional fifteen (15) days to file for rehearing,

that is, an extension until April 8, 2018.

      4.     This is Appellant's first request for an extension of time to file the

motion for rehearing.

      5.     Appellant needs additional time to file the motion for rehearing

because Appellant's counsel had an emergency that required overseas travel and is

out of the jurisdiction.

      6.     For these reasons, Appellant asks the Court to grant an extension of




                                             2
time to file the motion for rehearing to April 8, 2018.

                                                     Respectfully submitted,

                                                           /s/ Kurt G. Clarke
