TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellees, the Board of Directors of the State Bar of Texas, the Commission
for Lawyer Discipline, and Linda Acevedo in her official capacity as the Chief
Disciplinary Counsel of the State Bar of Texas, asks the Court, under the authority
of Rule 38.7 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, for leave to file an
amended brief in this matter.
I.
The Commission filed its brief on May 11, 2015. An amended brief is being
filed at the same time as the instant motion.
The Commission seeks to file an amended brief because the amended version
has been edited for clarity and readability. No new cases or authorities have been
added. The amending of Appellees’ brief will prevent confusion and thereby aid
the Court in resolving this matter appropriately.
Appellant does not oppose this motion.
III.
For these reasons, Appellees asks the Court to grant permission for leave to
file an amended brief.
