TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES:
Appellants respectfully ask the Court to extend the time for the filing
of their brief for the inclusive reasons below:
1. On February 11, 2015 the Court Clerk sent notice indicating that the
Reporter’s Record had been filed and that Appellants’ brief was due 30
days thereafter, if the record was not to be supplemented.
2. Appellants are in the process of determining whether to file with the
County Court Clerk a Request For Supplemental Record in reliance on
TRAP 34.5 (c). It also appears that the Reporters record may be
incomplete and require supplementation, unless the parties and counsels
agree to rely on the Reporter’s Record as presently filed.
3. The Court may grant an extension of time under TRAP Rule 10. To the
extent required by the applicable rules, Appellants concurrently
respectfully request permission for the “late filing” of this motion.
4. Appellants respectfully request an extension of time of not more than
sixty (60) days to allow the Post Trial Clerks of the Harris County Clerk’s
office to prepare and to file the Supplemental Records as may be
requested and to allow Appellants time to arrange for a Supplemental
Reporter’s record and\or solicit stipulations regarding the “adequacy” of the
Reporter’s Record on file for purposes of this appeal and to file their brief.
5. No previous extension either has been requested by Appellants or
granted by the Court which respect to the briefing time table.
6. Appellants respectfully pray that the Court grant this motion and extend
the time for filing their brief by an additional sixty (60) days.
