On Appeal from the 302nd Judicial District Court, Dallas County, Texas Cause No. DF-22-14398 (Hon. Sandra Jackson, Judge Presiding)

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

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FIFTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:

Appellee, Dwight L. Hill, files this Agreed Motion for Extension of Time to

File Appellee’s Brief under Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.1, 10.5(b) and

38.6(d). In support of this motion, Appellee would show the following:

Agreed Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellee’s Brief Page 1 1. This is an appeal from a Decree of Divorce. Appellant’s Brief was filed on August 21, 2025, after one extension.

2. Under the current schedule, Appellee’s Brief is due September 22, 2025. Appellee requests a forty-five (45) day extension of time to file his Brief, such that Appellee’s deadline to file his Brief would be extended to Thursday, November 6, 2025.

3. This is Appellee’s first request for an extension of time for the filing of his Brief.

4. Counsel for Appellant has agreed to this requested extension.

5. Appellee’s counsel’s paralegal has been away from the office for three weeks during the last thirty days.

6. Appellee’s request for extension is reasonable under the circumstances. Appellee seeks this extension in the interests of justice and judicial economy, not for purposes of delay or because of any intentional or deliberate failure by Appellee or his counsel to comply with the appellate rules.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellee, Dwight L. Hill moves

this Court for an order granting an agreed-upon extension of time to file Appellee’s

Brief of forty-five (45) days from the currently scheduled deadline of September 22,

2025, to Thursday, November 6, 2025, and for such other and further relief to which

Appellee shows himself justly entitled.

Respectfully submitted,
