Appellee.
On Appeal from the
353rd Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas
SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME
TO FILE APPELLANTS’ REPLY BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:
Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b), Appellants Glenn Hegar,
Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, and Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General,
request a one-day extension of time to file their reply brief. A copy of the reply brief
is being filed simultaneously with this motion.
I.
Appellants’ reply brief was due on August 24, 2015. The Appellants seek a 1-day
extension, creating a new due date of August 25, 2015. One prior extension has been
requested and granted for this filing. Appellee does not oppose this motion.
II.
The reason for the requested extension is that certain individuals in the
Comptroller’s Office were out of the office yesterday and requested additional time to
review the brief before it was filed.
III.
For these reasons, Appellants respectfully request that the Court grant a one-
extension and allow the reply brief to be filed today.
