TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
COMES NOW, Rose Ena Cantu, Appellant herein, and files this Motion to
Extend Time to File Brief. In support thereof, and pursuant to Texas Rule of
Appellate Procedure 10.5(b), Appellant would show as follows:
A. The deadline for filing the item in question:
The item in question is Appellant’s Brief. The current deadline for filing
Appellant’s Brief is October 1, 2015.
B. The length of the extension sought:
Appellant seeks a one-time extension of twenty (20) days within which to
file Appellant’s Brief, to include the period from September 14, 2015 through
October 1, 2015.
C. The facts relied on to reasonably explain the need for an
extension:
Counsel for Appellant and author of this Brief, Ms. Guthrie, was due to give
birth on September 22, but instead gave birth on September 12, ten days early. Ms.
Guthrie has only returned to work part-time this week and was able to complete the
Brief, which is being filed contemporaneously with this motion.
Counsel for Appellee has not responded to this request.
D. The number of previous extensions granted regarding this
extension:
2
One extension has been sought and granted.
Wherefore, premises considered, Appellant requests the Court grant an
extension of time to file her Brief, and accept the Brief which is being filed along
with this motion.
Respectfully submitted,
