RE: Saenz, et al. v. Thorp Petroleum Corp., et al.; Cause No. 04-14-
00527-CV
Dear Mr. Hottle and the Honorable Justices of the Court of Appeals:
On Friday, August 14, 2015, the Salinas Defendants 1 filed a Conditional
Motion for Extension of Time to File Motion for Rehearing. As stated in that
motion, the Salinas Defendants sought an extension only in the case that the
appellants also sought rehearing. The deadline has passed to seek an extension for
motion for rehearing or en banc reconsideration, and the Salinas Defendants have
not been served with any such motion by the appellants. Moreover, the Court’s
online docket indicates that the appellants have not filed such a motion, and the
clerk’s office confirmed over the phone this morning that the Court has not
received such a motion from the appellants.
As such, please allow this letter to serve as notice that the Salinas
Defendants are withdrawing their Conditional Motion for Extension of Time to
File Motion for Rehearing. Please contact me if you should need anything further.

The “Salinas Defendants” include Rosalinda Salinas Balderas; Fausto Salinas; Elda Salinas
Ponce; D-Fox, Ltd.; Elodia Salinas; Linda Mandes; Veronica Casas Campbell; and Cynthia M.
Villarreal, f/k/a Cindy Casas Reyna.
