UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME FOR APPELLEE’S BRIEF

Appellee, Ken Paxton, in his official capacity as Attorney General

of the State of Texas, respectfully requests a 30-day extension of time to

January 23, 2026, in which to file its brief in the captioned appeal.

Appellant is unopposed to this motion. In support, Appellee would show

the Court as follows:

1. This is Appellee’s first request for an extension.

2. This extension would make Appellee’s brief due on or before Friday,

January 23, 2026.

3. Counsel for Appellee has five hearings that have been scheduled in

December, and currently Appellee’s brief is due on December 29, 2025,

just days after Christmas and right before New Year when the Office of

the Attorney General will be closed.

4. This motion is not interposed for the purpose of delay, but only to

allow Appellee’s counsel the time to adequately prepare and file its brief.

5. Counsel for Appellant is not opposed to this motion.

Appellee, Ken Paxton, in his official capacity as Attorney General

of the State of Texas, therefore, respectfully requests an extension of time

to and including January 23, 2026, in which Appellee is to file and serve

its brief in the captioned appeal.
