TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

APPELLANT, FEMI S. ONABAJO AND CHRISTY ALFRED ONABAJO ask

the Court to extend the time to file their brief.

A. Introduction 1. Appellant is FEMI S. ONABAJO AND CHRISTY ALFRED ONABAJO

(“Appellant”); Appellee is HOUSEHOLD FINANCE CORP. III (“Household”).

2. The undersigned is attorney for Appellant.

3. The deadline to file Appellant's Brief is September 22, 2015.

4. Appellant requests a extension of time to file Appellant's Brief.

5. There is no specific deadline to file this motion to extend time. See Tex.

R. App. P. 38.6(d).

B. Argument & Authorities 6. Rule 10.5(b) authorizes Appellant to request an extension of time to file

Appellant's Brief and the Court has authority to extend the time to file the Appellant's

Brief under Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d).

7. This is the second request for an extension of time to file Appellant's

Brief.

8. The court reporter’s record was requested as required by Tex. R. App. P.

35(b), but is not yet on file with the appellate court. The Appellant’s brief is due

within the later of 30-days of:

(1) The date the clerk’s record was filed; or (2) The date the reporter’s record was filed. Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). Under the rules, Appellant’s brief is not yet due and Appellant cannot be expected to

prepare a brief without the court reporter’s record.

9. The length of the extension sought is thirty (30) days.

10. All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the

counsel signing this motion, therefore no verification is necessary under Rule of

Appellate Procedure 10.2.

C. Conclusion 11. The undersigned, as attorney for Appellant, requests a 30 day extension for

the deadline to file Appellant's Brief.

D. Prayer For these reasons, Appellant asks the Court to grant this motion and extend the

time for filing its Appellant’s Brief for 60 days.
