On Petition for Writ of Mandamus from the 250th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. D-1-GN-25-003118 Honorable Cory Liu, Presiding Judge REAL PARTY IN INTEREST STATE OF TEXAS’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE RESPONSE TO MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF The State of Texas, real party in interest in this proceeding and Plaintiff in the court below, files this motion requesting an extension of the deadline to file its response to Relators’ motion for temporary relief. On November 18, 2025, Relators filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking this Court to reverse the district court’s October 1, 2025 Order denying Relators’ Rule 91a motion to dismiss the State’s claims, vacate the trial court’s decision, and instruct the trial court to dismiss the State’s claims. The same day, Relators filed a motion to stay the district court’s proceedings pending disposition of their petition for mandamus. On Friday, November 21, the Court requested the State to file a response to the motion for temporary relief by December 5, 2025. In light of the Thanksgiving holiday, the State requests a one-week extension to December 12, 2025. This is the State’s first request for an extension, and Relators agree to the request. This request for an extension of time is not made for the purpose of delay, but to permit the State time to adequately prepare and submit a thorough brief. PRAYER For the above reasons, the State prays that the Court afford it until December 12, 2025, to file its response to the motion for temporary relief.
