TO THE HONORABLE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:

1.     Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. §10.1 and TEX. R. APP. P. §38.6(d), the Appellant, Daniel

Shoemaker, files this Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief.

2.     Appellant’s opening brief is currently due on August 5, 2015.

3.     Counsel for Appellant requests a 30-day extension of time to file its brief, making the

brief due on September 4, 2015. This is the first request for an extension of time to file the

opening brief.

4.     At this time, Counsel for Appellant is lacking many documents it needs as a result of

Appellant having to retain other Counsel in a criminal matter directly related to the civil

litigation that is being appealed in this Court. Said Counsel for the pending criminal matter is in

possession of the needed documents. Counsel for Appellant needs to have these documents

returned to them in order to write a fully developed brief. Counsel for Appellant seeks this

extension of time so that the proper materials may be acquired that will allow for the brief to

contain the information necessary to aid the Court in its analysis of the issues presented. This

request is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done.

5.     The undersigned has conferred with opposing counsel, and she has indicated that she

does not oppose this motion.

6.     All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of Counsel for

Appellant, therefore no verification is necessary under TEX. R. APP. P. §10.2

                                     PRAYER FOR RELIEF

       For the reasons set forth above, Appellant requests that this Court grant this Unopposed

First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief and extend the Deadline for Filing the
Appellant’s brief up to and including September 4, 2015. Appellant further requests that this

Court grant all other relief to which he may be justly entitled.


                                                      Respectfully submitted,
