ACCEPTED 03-13-00599-CV 4860993 THIRD COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS 4/13/2015 11:58:36 AM JEFFREY D. KYLE CLERK No. 03-13-00599-CV

In the FILED IN 3rd COURT OF APPEALS COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS for the 4/13/2015 11:58:36 AM THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS JEFFREY D. KYLE Clerk

Horse Hollow Generation Tie LLC, Appellant, v. Whitworth-Kinsey #2, Ltd., Whitworth-Kinsey #3, Ltd., and David Olen Whitworth, Appellees.

Appeal from the 119th District Court Concho County, Texas Honorable Garland B. Woodward, Judge Presiding

APPELLANT’S AMENDED MOTION TO RESCHEDULE ORAL ARGUMENT

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

Horse Hollow Generation Tie LLC (“HHGT”) respectfully files this

amended motion seeking to re-schedule oral argument in the above cause and

(currently set for May 6, 2015) to a date sometime after May 17, 2015. This

amended motion is filed so as to reflect the fact that Appellant has conferred with

all counsel for Appellees regarding this motion and to further state that the relief APPELLANT’S AMENDED MOTION TO RESCHEDULE ORAL ARGUMENT Page 1 01827-907/4849-5441-9747 sought is unopposed. In support of this amended motion, HHGT would show the

Court as follows.

1. This amended motion is filed in accordance with Texas Rule of

Appellate Procedure 10.5(c). The facts stated herein are within the personal

knowledge of the undersigned attorney and therefore need not be supported by

affidavit. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.2.

2. Appellant is Horse Hollow Generation Tie LLC. Jeff Tillotson is lead

counsel for Appellant.

3. Appellees are Whitworth-Kinsey #2, Ltd. (“#2”), Whitworth-Kinsey

#3, Ltd. (“#3”) and David Olen Whitworth (“Whitworth”). Appellees are

represented by Matthew Wymer of the law firm Bernie, Maynard & Parson, LLP

and Laird Palmer (who represents #2 and Whitworth).

4. On February 27. 2105, the Court set this matter for oral argument on

April 9, 2015.

5. On March 5, 3015, Appellees filed its Unopposed Motion for

Continuance of Submission and Oral Argument. The request – which Appellant

did not oppose – was due to a conflict on the part of Appellees’ counsel (a trial was

set during that week).

6. On March 6, 2015, the Court granted the request.

APPELLANT’S AMENDED MOTION TO RESCHEDULE ORAL ARGUMENT Page 2 01827-907/4849-5441-9747 7. On March 24, 2015, the Court reset the matter for oral argument on

May 6, 2015.

8. Unfortunately, the new date now conflicts with a long-scheduled

personal trip for Lead Counsel for Appellant (Mr. Tillotson) and his spouse. The

trip was booked last year and is for the period of May 4 through May 17, 2015.

The trip involves travel to China and is prepaid and non-refundable.

9. Lead Counsel spent some time consulting with his client as to whether

other lawyers within his firm could present the oral argument. After due

consideration, the client has requested that Mr. Tillotson handle the argument

given his long time involvement on this matter (Mr. Tillotson tried the underlying

case now on appeal and is responsible for the appellate briefing).

10. In deference to his client’s request, Mr. Tillotson now respectfully

asks the Court to reset the oral argument for a date after May 17, 2015.

11. The undersigned realizes that this is a second request for re-

scheduling (although it is the first such request by Appellant) but submits that such

a rescheduling is in the interest of justice and will no doubt promote domestic

harmony.

12. The Court has authority to postpone oral argument in this case upon a

showing of sufficient cause. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(c). The undersigned

believes that good cause has been demonstrated.

APPELLANT’S AMENDED MOTION TO RESCHEDULE ORAL ARGUMENT Page 3 01827-907/4849-5441-9747 13. In addition, counsel for Appellant has now conferred with all

opposing counsel (both Mr. Wymer and Mr. Palmer). Both have stated that they

do not oppose this request.

PRAYER

Appellant hereby request that the Court re-schedule the oral argument and

submission of this case to a date after May 17, 2015.

Dated: April 13, 2015 Respectfully submitted,
