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.
