LANGSTON STOETZEL, JAMES WRIGHT LANGSTON, JR., KENNETH LOUIS

LANGSTON, AND DR. JAMES WRIGHT LANGSTON, file this Objection and

Response to Appellant’s Request for Extension of Time in Which to File Brief, and in

support would show as follows:

1. On or about June 1, 2015, Appellant filed her “Appellant’s Firs [sic] Request for

Extension of Time in Which to File Brief (opposed)” (hereinafter “Request”). At

the outset, Appellees note and clarify that Appellant is seeking an extension of

time by which to file the trial court record, not Appellant’s brief as improperly

stated in the title of her Request.

2. The final judgment of the trial court was entered in this case on January 9, 2015.

Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a), the original deadline for filing the appellate

record was May 11, 2015. See also Tex. R. App. P. 35.1(a) ( The appellate record

must be filed, within 120 days after the judgment is signed if governed by Tex. R.

App. P. 26.1(a)).

3. On or about April 29, 2015, Appellant filed an “Affidavit of Indigency”

(hereinafter “Affidavit”) . On May 5, 2015, the Harris County District Clerk filed *3 it’s “ District Clerk’s Contest of Affidavit of Indigence Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 20.1 .”

4. On May 12, 2015, the trial court entered its “Judgment and Order Sustaining

Contest to Pauper’s Oath , ” denying Appellant’s Affidavit and finding

specifically that Appellant “is able to pay all filing fees, or to give security

therefore, [and] that the affidavit was not filed in good faith.” As a result, the

district clerk was ordered not to proceed or process any further actions or settings

on the case until Appellant pays and/or deposits in full all costs of this appeal.

5. As of the date of filing of this Response, Appellant has made no payment

arrangements for the preparation of the record in this case.

identical issues in Mississippi.” To the contrary, on or about August 12, 2014, the

Mississippi court entered an order invalidating the last will and testament and

trust agreement at issue in this case to be invalid.

Request be DENIED. *4 Respectfully submitted, /s/ Darryl V. Pratt Darryl V.
