Grounds for Extension under Appellate Rules of Procedure 10.5(b) Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) describes the contents of a Motion for extension of time. Thus, Appellees would show as follows.

A. 10.5(b)(1)(A) Current Deadline: July 25, 2025 The current deadline for the filing of Appellees’ Brief is Friday, July 25, 2025.

B. 10.5(b)(1)(B) Length of Extension Sought: Twenty Eight (28) days, until August 22, 2025 Appellees request a twenty eight (28) day extension, until Friday, August 22, 2025.

C. 10.5(b)(1)(C) Facts justifying need for extension The need for the extension is based on many things, including the intervening Fourth of July Holiday combined with the particularly busy litigation schedule of Undersigned Counsel, as follows.

First, since the filing of the Appellants’ Amended Brief on June 25, 2025, and through the requested extension deadline of August 22, 2025, the Undersigned has and or will have participated in three mediations, conducted eight depositions, appeared in eight hearings in State and/or Federal Court, prepared four answers in State and/or Federal Court, completed substantial written discovery in multiple cases, prepared numerous requests for Attorney General decisions, all in addition to a plethora of other day to day litigation demands.

D. 10.5(b)(1)(D) Previous Extensions: None This is the first request for any extension by Appellees, although Appellant requested and received two prior extensions.
