Horse Hollow Generation Tie LLC,
Appellant,
v.

Whitworth-Kinsey #3, Ltd., and David Olen Whitworth,
Appellees.
Appeal from the 119th District Court
Concho County, Texas
Honorable Garland B. Woodward, Judge Presiding
APPELLANT’S MOTION TO
RESCHEDULE ORAL ARGUMENT
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Horse Hollow Generation Tie LLC (“HHGT”) respectfully moves the Court
for a brief postponement and re-scheduling of the May 6, 2015 oral argument
recently set by the Court. In support of this motion, HHGT would show the Court
as follows.
APPELLANT’S MOTION TO RESCHEDULE ORAL ARGUMENT Page 1
01827-907/4822-3512-5027
1. This motion is filed in accordance with Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 10.5(c). The facts stated herein are within the personal knowledge of
the undersigned attorney and therefore need not be supported by affidavit. See
Tex. R. App. P. 10.2.
2. Appellant is Horse Hollow Generation Tie LLC. Jeff Tillotson is
lead counsel for Appellant.
3. Appellees are Whitworth-Kinsey #2, Ltd., Whitworth-Kinsey #3, Ltd.
and David Olen Whitworth.
4. On February 27. 2105, the Court set this matter for oral argument on
April 9, 2015.
5. On March 5, 3015, Appellees filed their Unopposed Motion for
Continuance of Submission and Oral Argument. The request – which Appellants
did not oppose – was due to a conflict on the part of Appellees’ counsel.
6. On March 6, 2015, the Court granted the request.
7. On March 24, 2015, the Court reset the matter for oral argument on
May 6, 2015.
8. Unfortunately, the new date now conflicts with a long-scheduled
personal trip for Lead Counsel for Appellant (Mr. Tillotson) and his spouse. The
trip was booked last year and is for the period of May 4 through May 17, 2015.
The trip involves travel to China and is prepaid and non-refundable.

9. Lead Counsel spent some time consulting with his client as to whether
other lawyers within his firm could present the oral argument. After due
consideration, the client has requested that Mr. Tillotson handle the argument
given his long time involvement on this matter (Mr. Tillotson tried the underlying
case now on appeal and is responsible for the appellate briefing).
10. In deference to his client’s request, Mr. Tillotson now respectfully
asks the Court to reset the oral argument for a date after May 17, 2015.
11. The undersigned realizes that this is a second request for re-
scheduling (although the first by Appellees) but submits that such a re-scheduling
is in the interest of justice and will no doubt promote domestic harmony.
12. The Court has authority to postpone oral argument in this case upon a
showing of sufficient cause. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(c). The undersigned
believes that good cause has been demonstrated.
13. In addition, counsel for Appellant has conferred with opposing
counsel who stated that they do not oppose this request.
PRAYER
Appellant hereby request that the Court re-schedule the oral argument and
submission of this case to a date after May 17, 2015.
