TO THE HONORABLE FIFTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:

Appellants Marvin Glenn Berry and Bonnie Berry file this Second Unopposed

Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellants’ Brief, seeking eight additional days

to July 30, 2025, and for cause would show:

Appellants’ brief is due July 22, 2025, on a 15-day extension.

Appellants seek an extension of eight (8) days, to July 30, 2025

The basis for the request is that the undersigned, who is lead appellate counsel

for Appellants and responsible for drafting the brief, has been suffering from

illnesses that have prevented her from working on the document. While a draft has

been started, an extension of time is necessary to complete the brief.

Counsel for Appellees have graciously stated that they are unopposed to this

request.

PRAYER

Wherefore, Appellants pray the Court to grant this motion and extend the time

for filing their brief to July 30, 2025. Appellants pray for all other relief to which

they are entitled.

Respectfully submitted, LAW OFFICE OF AUDREY MULLERT VICKNAIR State Bar No. 14650500 Audrey Mullert Vicknair 555 N. Carancahua St., Ste. 1400 Corpus Christi, Texas 78401 (361) 884-5400; (361) 884-5401 fax avicknair@vicknairlaw.com
