San Antonio, Texas
December 23, 2020
No. 04-20-00446-CV
Edward Harral ROBERTS,
Appellant
v.
Carmen S. Lopez ROBERTS,
Appellee
From the 293rd Judicial District Court, Maverick County, Texas
Trial Court No. 18-04-35492-MCVAJA
Honorable Amado J. Abascal, III, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant has filed a second motion for extension of time to his brief. We grant the
motion and order appellant’s brief due January 20, 2021. Counsel is advised that no further
extensions of time will be granted absent a motion, filed before the brief is due, that (1)
demonstrates extraordinary circumstances justifying further delay, (2) advises the court of the
efforts counsel has expended in preparing the brief, and (3) provides the court reasonable
assurance that the brief will be completed and filed by the requested extended deadline. The
court does not generally consider a heavy work schedule to be an extraordinary circumstance.
