Kofi Obeng and Obenstar, LLC v. Copart, Inc., Copart of Texas, Inc., and Copart of Houston, Inc.

Opinion

Order entered June 30, 2021

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

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).
