Opinion

ACCEPTED 15-25-00124-CV FIFTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS 12/1/2025 4:38 PM NO. 15-25-00124-CV CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE CLERK IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FILED IN FOR THE FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT 15th COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS ____________________________________________ 12/1/2025 4:38:11 PM CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE BRIAN BECKCOM, Clerk

Appellant,

v.

TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY,

Appellee. __________________________________________

Appealed from the 85th District Court Brazos County, Texas Cause No. 24-003177-CV-85

APPELLEE’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF

Pursuant to the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d),

Appellee, Texas A&M University (“TAMU”), respectfully moves to extend

time to file its brief on appeal to January 15, 2026.

TAMU’s brief is due on December 17, 2025. However, an appeal brief in

another matter is due that same day. Additionally, TAMU’s counsel has to

travel for an out-of-town court hearing on December 16, 2025 in another

matter. TAMU’s counsel will also be out of the office the following week for

the holidays and will not return until after the new year.

1 Thus, TAMU’s counsel will not have sufficient time to review

Appellant’s brief on appeal, review the record on appeal, and draft, finalize

and file TAMU’s appeal brief by the current December 17th deadline.

Neither party will suffer prejudice from this brief extension of time.

The relief requested in this unopposed motion is not sought for delay, but so

justice may be done.

TAMU’s counsel has conferred with counsel for Appellant, who has

indicated he is unopposed to this motion.

CONCLUSION

Accordingly, Appellee TAMU respectfully requests that the Court grant

this motion thereby extending the deadline to file its brief to January 15,

2026.

Respectfully submitted.
