Appellants respectfully request a 30-day extension, until and including August 22, 2025.1 This is Appellants’ first request for an extension of time to file their opening briefs.

I. Current Deadline These appeals are from three separate interlocutory orders entered by the 348th District Court of Tarrant County, in cause numbers 348-364430-25, 348-363561-25, and 348-364135-25. The Clerk’s Record was filed July 1, 2025, and the Reporter’s Record was filed July 3, 2025. Therefore, Appellants’ opening briefs are currently due on July 23, 2025.

1 Appellants have filed an Unopposed Motion to Consolidate these appeals. This motion seeks an extension on Appellants’ combined opening brief in the event the Court grants the consolidation motion; in the event this Court denies Appellants’ consolidation motion this extension request applies to Appellants’ opening brief in all three appeals. • City of Carrolton, Texas v.
