GENSETIX, INC., Appellee.

Arising from the 152nd District Court of Harris County, Texas UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANTS’ REPLY BRIEF

Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), Appellants The Board of Regents of The University of Texas System (“Board of Regents”), The University of Texas System (“UTS”), and The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (“MD Anderson”) file this unopposed motion seeking a 30-day extension of time to file Appellants’ Reply Brief to September 18, 2025. In support of this motion, Appellants show the following: 1. Appellants’ Reply Brief is currently due August 19, 2025.

145844039v1 2. There is good cause for extending the time to file Appellants’ Reply Brief. The current deadline conflicts with trial preparation for counsel for Appellants, Deanna M. Willson, who is scheduled for a two-week trial scheduled in Lubbock County starting on September 8, 2025. The current deadline also conflicts with scheduled vacation plans for key members of the Appellants’ in-house team.

3. This is the first request for an extension of time to file Appellants’ Reply Brief before this Court.

4. This motion is unopposed.

5. This motion is not filed for the purpose of delay. Counsel for Appellants seek this extension of time to be able to prepare a Reply to aid the Court in its analysis of the issues presented. Nor will Appellee be harmed because Appellee is unopposed to this extension request.

Conclusion and Prayer For these reasons, Appellants respectfully request that the Court grant an extension of time of 30-days to file Appellants’ Reply Brief to September 18, 2025, and grant them any other relief to which they may be justly entitled.
