On the 13th day of October this Court issued a directive to the Appellant that his brief was due on the 12th day of November 2015. This Order was issued shortly after the clerk’s record was supplemented by the Ft Bend County District Clerk with a copy of the final Judgement that forms the basis for this appeal. Since that time Appellant has filed a timely Motion for New Trial within the Trial Court and that Motion is set to be heard in the 434th Judicial District Court on the 25th day of November, 2015. The ruling on the Motion may well enter into the development of the issues that will be presented on the appeal. The Appellant believes that justice will best be served if the issues are fully developed and presented to this Court. The requested delay is not the result of conscious indifference but because of the need for additional information . Prayer Wherefore Premises Considered the Appellant prays that this Honorable Court extend the time for Appellant to file his brief until after the ruling of the trial court on the Motion for New Trial. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Walter P. Mahoney Jr. _______ Walter P.
