Deborah S. Sloan John M. Allan State Bar No. 00786230 [email protected] [email protected] Antoinette L. Ellison Jones Day [email protected] 2727 N. Harwood Street Jones Day Suite 500 1221 Peachtree Street NE Dallas, Texas 75201-1515 Suite 400 Atlanta, Georgia 30361 Counsel for Appellee

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FIFTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS: Appellee ChampionX, LLC files this Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellee’s Brief, pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), and states as follows: Appellee’s Brief is currently due on February 26, 2025. By this Motion for Extension of Time, Appellee requests a 30-day extension to file its brief, making the new deadline to file March 28, 2025.

This extension is necessary because counsel for Appellee has existing out-of- state travel arrangements from February 14, 2025 through February 17, 2025 and February 26, 2025 through March 2, 2025, in addition to obligations that impact counsel’s ability to prepare and file Appellee’s Brief by the current deadline. These include preparation for and participation in a hearing before the Texas State Office of Administrative Hearings (“SOAH”), SOAH Docket Nos. 304-25-05500 and 304- 25-05501, scheduled for February 27, 2025. Counsel also has significant discovery and other responsibilities relating to an administrative appeal before the Massachusetts Appellate Tax Board as well as attending to other client obligations.

This extension is not sought for the purpose of delay, but to enable counsel to prepare and submit a brief that assists the Court. This is Appellee’s first request for an extension of time to file its Brief.

As set forth in the Certificate of Conference, this Motion for Extension of Time is unopposed.

Conclusion & Prayer For the reason described above, Appellee respectfully requests that the Court grant this Motion for a 30-day extension of time, extending the deadline to file Appellee’s Brief until March 28, 2025.

Dated: February 12, 2025
