TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

COMES NOW, Appellant and files this request for an extension of

Court below: 54th District Court

Cause number below: No 2014-1486-C2

Days requested by this extension: 30 days

Date to which extension is requested: July 30, 2016

Hodges, Michael 1 I. The Appellant’s request is based upon the following reasonable

explanation of the need for additional time, within the personal knowledge

of Charles W. McDonald, the attorney signing this motion, Pursuant to TEX.

R. APP. PROC. 10.5(b), namely:

II.

Counsel requests thirty (30) additional days to complete the brief as

counsel unexpectedly had to file an eighty (80) page summary judgment

response. Counsel assures the Court that this request is not for the sake of

delay. Counsel unfortunately, at times, believes he can get out the quantity

of work today that he could thirty (30) years ago, albeit this is not always an

accurate assessment.

III.

Appellant requests that the Court grant this motion and extend the

time and deadline for the filing of appellant’s brief as asked for, or the Court

grant such additional time as is just and proper, and accordingly, Appellant

so prays.
