Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
November 19, 2021
No. 04-21-00226-CV
VALERO DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION and Imelda Fernandez,
Appellants
v.
CITY OF LAREDO,
Appellee
From the 341st Judicial District Court, Webb County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2020-CVK-000828-D3
Honorable Elma T. Salinas Ender, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellants’ brief was originally due October 18, 2021; however, the court granted
an extension of time until December 2, 2021. Appellants have filed a motion seeking a
further forty-three day extension of time to file the brief.
We grant the motion in part and order appellants’ brief due December 17,
2021 (60 days after the original due date). 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.
