TEXAS PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC.
TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:
Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1 and 38.6 (d), the Appellee, Whispering Hills of
Comal County, Texas Property Owners Association, Inc., files this Unopposed First
Motion to Extend Time to File Appellee’s Brief.
Appellee’s opening brief is currently due on October 26, 2015.
Counsel for Appellee requests a 30-day extension of time to file its brief, making
the brief due on November 25, 2015. This is the first request for extension of time to file.
Counsel for Appellee relies on the following reasons, in addition to the routine
matters that counsel must attend to in daily practice, to explain the need for the requested
extension:
Counsel for Appellee has primary responsibility on three non-jury lawsuits,
which are scheduled for trials on October 13, 16, and 26.
Counsel for Appellant/Appellee seeks this extension of time to be able to prepare a
cogent and succinct brief to aid this Court in its analysis of the issues presented. This
request is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done.
The undersigned has conferred with the opposing party, and he has indicated that
he does not oppose this motion.
All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the counsel
signing this motion; therefore, no verification is necessary under Rule of Appellate
Procedure 10.2.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
For the reasons set forth above, Appellee requests that this Court grant this
Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellee’s Brief and extend the Deadline
for Filing the Appellee’s Brief, up to and including November 25, 2015, and all other
relief to which it may be entitled.
Respectfully submitted,
/ s/ Zachary Aoki
