No. 05-20-01059-CV
KOFI OBENG AND OBENSTAR, LLC, Appellants
V.
COPART, INC., COPART OF TEXAS, INC., AND COPART OF
HOUSTON, INC., Appellees
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CC-18-02553-B
ORDER
Before the Court is appellants’ June 29, 2021 unopposed motion for
extension of time to file their opening brief. Appellants note their brief was first
due April 1, 2021 and that we extended the deadline to July 1, 2021 to allow them
an opportunity to obtain counsel. They further note that, at the time we extended
the deadline, we cautioned them that further extension requests would be
disfavored. They explain the extension is necessary, however, because they
requested, through counsel who made his appearance on May 4, supplemental
clerk’s and reporter’s records on May 13, and the supplemental clerk’s record was
filed just before the motion at hand, and, as of the filing of the motion, the
supplemental reporter’s record had not been filed.
We note the supplemental reporter’s record was filed this morning.
Accordingly, we GRANT the motion and ORDER the brief be filed no later than
July 20, 2021. We caution appellants that failure to file the brief by July 20 may
result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P.
38.8(a)(1).
