LAURA PRESSLEY,

APPELLANT

vs. GREGORIO "GREG" CASAR,

APPELLEE

MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING APPELLANT'S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

Now comes Laura Pressley, Appellant and pursuant to Tex.R.App.P.

10.5, moves this court to grant an extension of time to file Appellant's Brief,

and respectfully states:

1. The due date for Laura Pressley, Appellant's Brief is currently

August 18, 2015. The last Clerk's Record and the Reporter's Record was

filed on August 7, 2015. The trial court has indicated it will file an order on

Appellant's request for additional Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law

in the future. Therefore the last filing of the Record has not been set as of yet or at a minimum as of this date was August 7, 2015. Tex. R App. P.

38.6(a).

2. Laura Pressley seeks an extension of time to file Appellant's

brief for 20 days from the current stated due date of August 18, 2015 or

until September 8, 2014. The extension is needed because the record in

this case is voluminous and rather disorganized making preparing the brief

and appendix very time consuming, Appellant's attorney will be out of the

office from August 22 until September 1, 2015 on a combination

family/business trip and will be unable to work on the brief during that time,

and Appellant's attorney has depositions and other professional

commitments that will prevent him from working on the brief exclusively

between the date hereto and August 18, 2015. As a result of the series of

judgments and other post judgment activities of the trial court , the length

and status of the record and the series of supplements and Appellant's

attorney's schedule , the brief cannot be properly and efficiently prepared

and filed before September 8, 2015.

3. Therefore, this Motion is in the interest of justice and orderly

presentation of the issues that need to be resolved in this appeal and not

for by reason of any procrastination or for delay.

PRESSLEY MOTION TO EXTEND TIME Page 2 4. Counsel for Laura Pressley has conferred with counsel for

Casar and Casar does not oppose this Motion to Extend Time to

September 8, 2015.

5. Appellant attempted to file a previous Motion but was told it was

premature and it was not accepted for filing. Consequently this is the first

extension of time Laura Pressley has presented to this honorable Court for

the filing of the Appellant's Brief.

PRAYER

For these reasons, Laura Pressley requests that this court enter an

order extending the time for filing Appellant's Brief until September 8, 2015

Laura Pressley also requests any other relief to which she may be

entitled.

Respectfully Submitted,
