Brian Beckcom v. Texas A&M University

Opinion

ACCEPTED 15-25-00124-CV FIFTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS 12/1/2025 4:38 PM NO. 15-25-00124-CV CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE CLERK IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FILED IN FOR THE FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT 15th COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS ____________________________________________ 12/1/2025 4:38:11 PM CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE BRIAN BECKCOM, Clerk

Appellant, v. TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY, Appellee. __________________________________________ Appealed from the 85th District Court Brazos County, Texas Cause No. 24-003177-CV-85 APPELLEE’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF Pursuant to the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), Appellee, Texas A&M University (“TAMU”), respectfully moves to extend time to file its brief on appeal to January 15, 2026.

TAMU’s brief is due on December 17, 2025. However, an appeal brief in another matter is due that same day. Additionally, TAMU’s counsel has to travel for an out-of-town court hearing on December 16, 2025 in another matter. TAMU’s counsel will also be out of the office the following week for the holidays and will not return until after the new year.

Thus, TAMU’s counsel will not have sufficient time to review Appellant’s brief on appeal, review the record on appeal, and draft, finalize and file TAMU’s appeal brief by the current December 17th deadline.

Neither party will suffer prejudice from this brief extension of time.

The relief requested in this unopposed motion is not sought for delay, but so justice may be done.

TAMU’s counsel has conferred with counsel for Appellant, who has indicated he is unopposed to this motion.

CONCLUSION Accordingly, Appellee TAMU respectfully requests that the Court grant this motion thereby extending the deadline to file its brief to January 15, 2026.

Respectfully submitted.
