Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), Defendant-Appellant moves for an extension of time of four weeks to file its brief, and would respectfully show the court the following:
Appellant’s brief is due on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. Appellant requests that this Court grant an extension of time of four weeks until Tuesday June 24, 2025, to file Appellant’s brief.
Appellant requests this extension because counsel for Appellant has been involved in post-trial activities following completion of the jury trial in Greig v. Texas A&M University Texarkana , No. 5:23-cv-00030-JRG-JBB (E.D. Tex.) on May 13. Additionally, counsel for Appellant has been ill and required to take leave that interfered with her ability to devote the requisite time to preparation of Appellant’s brief. The requested extension is reasonable and necessary to allow Appellant adequate time to prepare its brief. This request is not made for delay, but only so that justice may be done.
This is Appellant’s second request for an extension of time. Appellant has conferred with counsel for Appellee, and he has indicated that
he does not oppose this motion.
