Opinion
Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas May 13, 2019 No. 04-18-00714-CV ESTATE OF JOANNE COOKSEY FRIEND, DECEASED,
From the County Court, Uvalde County, Texas Trial Court No. 6904-16 Honorable Polly Jackson Spencer, Judge Presiding
ORDER Appellee’s brief was originally due April 1, 2019; however, the court has granted extensions of time until May 15 to file the brief. Appellee has filed a motion for a further fifteen-day extension of time.
We grant the motion and order appellee’s brief due May 30, 2019. The court does not ordinarily grant extensions of more than sixty days beyond the original due date. Counsel is therefore advised that no further extensions of time will be granted absent a motion, filed before the brief is due, that (1) demonstrates extraordinary circumstances justifying further delay, (2) advises the court of the efforts counsel has expended in preparing the brief, and (3) provides the court reasonable assurance that the brief will be completed and filed by the requested extended deadline. The court does not generally consider a heavy work schedule to be an extraordinary circumstance.
