PORT ARTHUR INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, JOHNNY E. BROWN, SHARON BOUTTE, AND EMILY KING, Appellees _______________________________________________________ ______________

On Appeal from the 136th District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. D-193,803 ________________________________________________________ _____________

ORDER

The appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file notice of appeal on

August 14, 2015. The appellees did not file a response. The motion concerns

extending the appellate timetable for the order rendered on July 1, 2015.

Appellant’s motion includes a reasonable explanation regarding the delay. A notice

of appeal was filed with the clerk of the trial court within fifteen days of the last

day allowed for perfecting appeal from the July 1, 2015 order.

1 The Court finds that the appellant filed notice of appeal and a motion for

extension of time within fifteen days of the last day allowed for perfecting appeal

from the order of July 1, 2015, and further finds the motion reasonably explains the

need for an extension of time to perfect appeal. Therefore, the Court GRANTS an

extension of time to August 17, 2015, to perfect an appeal from the order signed

July 1, 2015. Tex. R. App. P. 26.3.

ORDER ENTERED September 3, 2015.
