TO THE HONORABLE COURT:
COMES NOW Thomas Seabourne, Appellant in the above-styled and
numbered cause, by and through his attorney of record, and pursuant to Rule
10.5(b)(3) of the Texas Rules of Appellant Procedure, files this his Motion for
Extension of Time for Filing of a Brief on Appeal, and in support of same would

1. The time for filing the Brief on Appeal in this case is the 4th day of
December, 2015. This extension, Appellant’s first motion to extend the time for
filing the Brief on Appeal with the Clerk of this Court, is filed not for delay, but so
that justice may be done.
2. Counsel for Appellant has been involved in numerous trials since the
notice of appeal filed herein, a hearing on a Plea for Abatement on this case was
heard and the due date for the deadline of the brief was calendared for the wrong date.
Therefore, counsel for Appellant would request the Court grant an extension of the
briefing deadline of forty-five (45) days.
3. The attached affidavit of Joe Shumate for Appellant herein, is offered in
support of this motion.
WHEREFORE, Appellants request that:
1. The Clerk of this Court give notice of this motion to Appellee, by and
through her attorney of record;
2. This Court grant Appellant’s motion;
3. This Court extend the time for filing said Brief on Appeal to the 18th day
