Appellant’s attorney requests additional time to sufficiently analyze the material

this case.
Appellant’s Counsel further shows that counsel was working on a brief due in
the Twelfth Court of Appeals on May 4, 2015 2014 in cause no. 12-14-00365-CV,
styled Edom Corner, LLC and Earl A. Berry, Jr. v. It’s the Berry’s, LLC d/b/a Mary
Ellen’s.
Appellant has conferred with counsel for the State of Texas and the State of
Texas does not oppose the requested extension.

Court grant this Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant's Brief, and for such other
and further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.
