John F. Melton Email: jmelton@jfmeltonlaw.com State Bar No. 24013155 THE MELTON LAW FIRM, P.L.L.C. 6001 Bold Ruler Way, Suite 100 Austin, Texas 78746 (512) 633-9059 Telephone ATTORNEY FOR APPELLANT

Page 1 of 4 TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT AND THE COURT CLERK:

COME NOW, Appellant Rosalinda E. Romero, and hereby files this Unopposed

Motion for Extension of Deadline to File Appellant’s Brief, and would respectfully

show the Court as follows:

The clerk’s record in this case was filed September 5, 2025.

The Appellee filed its Motion to Transfer Appeal to the Fifteenth Court of

Appeals on August 20, 2025. The Appellant filed her Response to Appellee’s Motion

to Transfer Appeal to the Fifteenth Court of Appeals on September 2, 2025, and the

Appellee filed its Reply on September 5, 2025. On October 28, 2025, the Third Court

of Appeals issued its Order and Memorandum Opinion transferring this appeal to the

Fifteenth Court of Appeals.

On October 28, 2025, the undersigned received the Fifteenth Court of Appeals

notice stating that the Appellant’s brief was due on October 6, 2025.

Appellant is requesting a twenty three (27) day extension requesting that the

deadline be extended to November 26, 2025. This is the first request for an extension.

Counsel for Appellant has had numerous hearings and responses to motions the

past several weeks, and needs additional time to prepare Appellant’s Brief.

In addition, Appellant was unclear which Court the brief would be filed in and

did not have this Court’s cause number until very recently. Appellant never received

Page 2 of 4 notice from the Third Court of Appeals that a brief was due and Appellant was waiting

on the filing of a reporters record before filing a brief. Appellant has now recently

been informed that a reporters record does not exist. As such, Appellant was unaware

that a brief was due and had even checked the Third Court of Appeals website which

did not indicate a brief was due.

This request for extension of time is not being made for purpose of delay, but

so that justice may be done.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that the Court

extend the deadline to file Appellant’s Brief until November 26, 2025.

CERTIFICATE OF CONFERENCE

Counsel for Plaintiff has contacted counsel for Appellee who has stated that he is unopposed to this motion.
