                         ON APPEAL FROM THE 284™ JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
                                 OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TEXAS



          APPELLANTS MOTION FO* EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE THE CLERK'S RECORD




     TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:


             Kristin D. Wilkinson, Appellant, respectfully and for good cause requests the

     Court grant the clerk additional time to file the clerk's record and shows this honorable

     Court as follows:


             1.      The deadline to file the clerk's record is December 12, 2017. Rule 35.1,
     TexAApp.P. In accord with Rule 35.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the
     clerk's record should be filed with the Clerk ofthe Beaumont Court of Appeals on or
     before 120 days after the Judgment was signed. The Judgment was signed on August
    14, 2017. Therefore, thefirst deadline in which clerk's record should be filed in the




                                                           12/12/2017 TUE 14:12 [TX/RX HO 7330] ©003

      appellate court is on or before December 12, 2017.

             2.      Appellant is the sole caretakerof her mother and both have had the flu;

      Appellant's mother having significant additional medical issues requiring Kristin's

      attention, care and, by choice, linancial commitment Appellant should be able to pay

      for the Clerk's Record on December 22, 2017, or as soon as the Christmas holiday has

      passed and the Court reopens for regular business. The delay in payment is not

      purposeful but will complicate the clerk's preparation of the record in a timely manner.

     In order to prepare the record, the clerk will in all probability need a court order

     allowing for an extension of time to prepare and transmit the record to the Ninth Court

     of Appeals.

             3.      The court reporter requested an extension to file the reporter's record.

     The Appellate Court granted the reporter's request extending the time to file the

     reporter's record to and including January 11, 2017.

             4.      Appellant requests the Court extend the time to file the clerk's record up
     to and including January 11, 2017.

             5.      THEREFORE, Appellant respectfully requests the Court extend the deadline

     for filing the clerk's record up to and including January 11, 2017.
