                                On Appeal from the
                    353rd Judicial District, Travis County, Texas
                             No. D-1-GN-11-000326


                     UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME
                       TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING


TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellees Glenn Hegar, Comptroller of Public Accounts, and Ken Paxton,

Attorney General, move to extend by 14 days the time to file their Appellees’ motion

for rehearing pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 49.8 and 10.5(b).

                                         I.
      Appellants’ motion is currently due on June 26, 2015. Appellants seek a 14-day

extension to file this motion, which would make the motion due on July 10, 2015.




                                          1
No previous extensions have been granted with respect to the motion in question.

Appellant Rent-A-Center, Inc., is unopposed to the extension of time requested.

                                            II.
       There are good reasons to grant the requested extension, which is not sought

for any improper purpose. Appellees’ counsel requests additional time to consult with

the client and complete drafting of the motion. In addition, Appellees’ counsel has a

significant workload in a number of cases, including preparing for and presenting oral

argument in Henderson v. Stephens, No. 14-70001, in the Fifth Circuit on June 18, 2015;

reviewing the record in preparation for drafting the appellee’s brief in Roberson v.

Stephens, No. 14-70033, in the Fifth Circuit; and assisting with various other matters in

the Office of the Solicitor General.

                                           III.
       Appellees respectfully request that the Court grant an extension of time for

filing their motion for rehearing until July 10, 2015.




                                            2
