Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), Appellants
in the above-referenced matters file this unopposed motion for extension of time to
file Appellants’ opening briefs. Appellants’ opening briefs are currently due July 23,
2025. Appellants respectfully request a 30-day extension, until and including August 22,
2025.1 This is Appellants’ first request for an extension of time to file their opening
briefs.

These appeals are from three separate interlocutory orders entered by the 348th
District Court of Tarrant County, in cause numbers 348-364430-25, 348-363561-25,
and 348-364135-25. The Clerk’s Record was filed July 1, 2025, and the Reporter’s
