On Appeal from the 152nd Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas, Case No. 2010-63264

APPELLANTS’ FIRST UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND MOTION FOR EN BANC RECONSIDERATION

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 49.8, APPELLANTS ALLEN L. BERRY,

JOSEPH D. MCCORD, and ROBERT G. TAYLOR, II (hereinafter collectively

referred to as “Appellants”) respectfully request this Honorable Court extend the

time for Appellants to file their Motion for Rehearing and Motion for En Banc

Reconsideration and in support thereof submit the following:

1. Appellants are ALLEN L. BERRY, JOSEPH D. McCORD, and

ROBERT G. TAYLOR, II.

MOTION TO EXTEND TIME PAGE 1 2. Appellee is Encore Bank (hereinafter collectively referred to as

“Appellee”).

3. The parties have agreed to this motion.

4. The Court of Appeals issued its Judgment and Opinion in this matter

on June 2, 2015. Appellants’ Motion for Rehearing and Motion for En Banc

Reconsideration are due on or before June 17, 2015. See TEX. R. APP. P. 49.8.

5. This motion is filed before Appellants’ motions are due.

6. Appellants request that this Court grant them an additional time to file

their Motion for Rehearing and Motion for En Banc Reconsideration, extending

the deadline for filing to Wednesday, July 1, 2015.

7. No previous extension has been requested or granted to extend the

time to file Appellants’ Motion for Rehearing and Motion for En Banc

Reconsideration.

8. An extension is necessary because counsel for Appellant Joseph D.

McCord, Jett Williams III, has recently concluded a complex arbitration

proceeding and has been preparing all closing briefs and filings in the arbitration

proceeding. Therefore, Appellants need additional time to prepare the Motion for

Rehearing and Motion for En Banc Reconsideration. Appellants’ request for an

extension is not for purposes of delay, but so that justice may be done.

MOTION TO EXTEND TIME PAGE 2 WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, APPELLANTS ALLEN L.

BERRY, JOSEPH D. McCORD, and ROBERT G. TAYLOR, II respectfully

request that this Honorable Court grant them an extension of the deadline for

filing their Motion for Rehearing and Motion for En Banc Reconsideration,

extending the deadline to Wednesday, July 2, 2015 and all such other and further

relief to which they may show themselves entitled.
