HOTTLE IN RE ESTATE OF MARJORIE A. CHILDS Clerk On Appeal from Probate Court No 2, Bexar County, Texas APPELLANT PAMELA ANN CHILD'S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF Pamela Ann Childs ask this Court to extend the time to file her brief. A. INTRODUCTION 1. Appellants are Pamela Ann Childs and Susan K. Addison; Appellee is Mollie Ann Childs. 2. This is a permissive interlocutory appeal. 3. The parties have agreed to this motion. 4. On October 23, 2015, this Court granted permission to appeal from an interlocutory order, and ordered Appellants to file their briefs on November 12,2015. B. ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITIES 5. This Court has authority under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(d) to extend the time to file a brief. 6. The record was filed, but when counsel for Appellant reviewed the record, she discovered that the record is missing over 2,300 pages from Appellant's response to Appellee's motion for summary judgment. 7. Accordingly, on October 30, Appellant requested the court clerk to file a supplemental clerk's record, including the exhibits to Appellant's response to the motion for summary judgment which were not included in the clerk's record filed with the Court. A true and correct copy of the Request for Supplemental Record is attached hereto marked Exhibit A. 8. Appellant cannot complete her brief-and this Court cannot evaluate whether the trial court erred in granting summary judgment-without reviewing the complete record that was before the trial court. 9. Apellant requests an extension oftime to file Appellant's briefuntil 20 days after the complete record is filed. C.PRAYER 10. For these reasons, Appellant asks the Court to grant an extension of time to file her brief until 20 days after the complete record is filed. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Judith R. Blakeway Judith R.
