Opinion

ACCEPTED 15-24-00128-CV FIFTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS 12/19/2024 2:16 PM No. 15-24-00128-CV CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE CLERK FILED IN IN THE COURT OF APPEALS 15th COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS AUSTIN, TEXAS AUSTIN, TEXAS 12/19/2024 2:16:19 PM CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE Clerk HARBOR AMERICA CENTRAL, INC., Appellant, v.

WILLIAM REEVES, Appellee.

On Appeal from the 55th District Court of Harris County, Texas Trial Court No. 2017-25574

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE RESPONSE TO MOTION TO TRANSFER APPEAL

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

Appellant, Harbor America Central, Inc., respectfully files this unopposed

motion for extension of time to file its response to Appellee’s Motion to Transfer

Appeal to Fourteenth Court of Appeals, and would show the Court as follows:

1. The present deadline for filing the response is December 26, 2024.

2. Appellant seeks a 30-day extension, until January 25, 2025, to file its

response.

3. This is Appellant’s first request for an extension of time to file the

response.

4. This motion is unopposed. 5. The parties are now in discussions that may moot the need for action

on the motion, and they expect to conclude those discussions in early January.

6. Additionally, the current deadline falls in the midst of the holidays,

making it difficult to collaborate on the response.

7. This motion is not filed for the purpose of delay, but to allow counsel

adequate time to prepare the response (should it prove necessary to file one).

For these reasons, Appellant respectfully requests an extension of time to file

its response until January 25, 2025.

Respectfully submitted,

BECK REDDEN LLP
