IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FILED IN 14th COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTEENTH SUPREME JUDICIAL DISTRICT HOUSTON, TEXAS AT HOUSTON 6/30/2015 9:35:39 AM CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE BRANT OILFIELD MANAGEMENT & SALES, Clerk INC., Appellant Vs. MOUNTWEST, INC., Appellee

On Appeal from the 127th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 321010127

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE OR REQUEST FOR LATE FILING OF APPELLANT'S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

COMES NOW, Dick Swift, Counsel for Appellant, Brant Oilfield

Management & Sales, Inc., Appellant in the above-entitled and numbered cause,

and moves this Honorable Court to extend the time for filing Appellant’s Brief,

and in support of this motion would show the Court as follows:

I. The trial court certified Appellant’s right to appeal and notice of appeal was

timely filed. Appellant’s brief was presently due on June 29, 2014. II.

A request for late filing of the reporter’s record was filed on June 29, 2014

by Suzanne G. Saulsberry, Official Court Reporter, 127th Harris County Judicial

District.

Appellant does not have a reporter’s record and thus cannot make

meaningful citations to the record.

Therefore, counsel requests that an extension of time be granted until July

15, 2015.

III.

In the alternative, counsel requests that this Court grant permission for the

late filing of this brief.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this Court

grant an extension of time to file Appellant's brief until July 15, 2015, or in the

alternative grant the late filing of Appellant's brief and for such other and further

relief to which he may show himself to be justly entitled. Respectfully submitted,
