Appellees
Appeal from County Court at Law No. 4, Dallas County, Texas
Cause No. CC-11-00751-D
The Honorable Ken Tapscott, Presiding Judge
______________________________________________________________________________
JOINT MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE MOTIONS FOR REHEARING
______________________________________________________________________________
The deadline to file Motions for Rehearing is September 2, 2015. The
parties request a 14-day extension of time, until September 16, 2015, to file their
motions. This is first request for an extension.
Appellees need additional time because their counsel have had and will have
several deadlines in other matters which coincide and interfere with Appellees’
1
current deadline. Since the opinion was issued on August 18, 2015, Appellees’
counsel have had the following deadlines: preparing for, taking and defending
depositions of defendants and both parties’ experts in Cause No. DC‐13‐08521, in
the 91st Judicial District Court of Dallas County on August 18, 19 and 20, 2015; a
deposition in Cause No. D‐1‐GN‐11‐3133, in the 261st Judicial District Court of
Travis County on August 24, 2015; and mediation in Cause No. DC‐13‐08521on
August 27, 2015.
In addition to the above-listed deadlines, Appellants’ counsel are scheduled
for the following during the remainder of the time left to file the motion for
rehearing: mediation on September 1, 2015 in Cause No. 14-O-018, in the 421st
Judicial District court of Caldwell County; summary‐judgment responses on
September 2 and 4, 2015 in Cause No. DC‐13‐08521, along with summary
judgment hearings in that case on September 7 and 9, 2015; depositions of
four deponents on September 3 and September 10, 2015 in Cause No. D‐1‐GN‐
11‐3133; and finally, a preferentially‐set jury trial in Cause No. DC‐13‐
08521beginning on September 14, 2015.
Appellants request the same extension so that they will not be placed at
a disadvantage by the Appellees having Appellant’s motion for rehearing to
analyze and draft a response to two weeks before Appellants receive
Appellee’s motion for rehearing.

Prayer
Based on the foregoing, the parties request that the Court grant their request
for a 14-day extension of time to file their motions for rehearing.
