The Court has authority under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(c) to reset oral argument. 5. Appellants ask the Court to reset oral argument in this case because attorney and party J. Keith Webb cannot attend oral argument on the date presently scheduled for argument. 6. Mr. Webb’s mother-in-law, Judith Seba, passed away on January 31, 2015. A memorial service is planned for Wednesday, February 4, 2015. Consequently, Mr. Webb will be unavailable to attend oral argument on that date. 7. Appellant’s attorney is a shareholder of The Miller Law Firm. No other attorney in the firm is able to argue this case because no other attorney is familiar with the facts of the case or issues on appeal. 8.

No motion to reset oral argument has been sought or granted in this case. 10.Appellant’s counsel has pre-planned events that will require him to be out of town on March 4 & 5, March 24 – 30, and May 14 & 15, 2015 and would preclude him from attending oral argument on those dates.

For these reasons, Appellants ask the Court to grant this motion and to reschedule the oral argument in this case to a later date and time.
