v.

REED GASKIN AND BRITTANY GASKIN Appellees

ON APPEAL FROM THE 453RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY, TEXAS

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S REPLY BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FIFTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:

Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d),

Appellant Servpro Industries, LLC (“Appellant”) files this Unopposed Motion for

Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Reply Brief, and in support thereof, Appellant

would respectfully show the Court the following:

REQUEST FOR EXTENSION

1. The Court has the authority under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure

38.6(d) to extend the time for filing the Appellant’s Brief. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(d).

2. The current deadline for Appellant to file its Brief is December 31,

2025. Appellant requests a twenty-one (21) day extension to file its Reply Brief,

which would extend the deadline to January 21, 2026. This is Appellant’s first

request for additional time to file its Reply Brief.

3. Appellant requires additional time to file its Reply Brief due to the

upcoming holiday season with preplanned vacation. Also, Appellant’s counsel has

been substantially involved in litigating multiple cases, which has required attending

several mediations, responding to dispositive motions, drafting dispositive motions

at the trial court level, attending hearings, and preparing for and taking depositions.

As a result, Appellant’s counsel requires additional time to prepare a Reply Brief

that will be helpful to the Court in deciding this appeal.

4. This request for additional time is not sought for delay, but only so that

justice may be done.

5. These facts are within the personal knowledge of the undersigned

counsel. Therefore, a verification is not necessary. TEX. R. APP. P. 10.2(c).

CONCLUSION

For these reasons, Appellant respectfully requests that the Court grant this

Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Reply Brief and enter

an order extending Appellant’s deadline to file its Reply Brief to January 21, 2026

and granting Appellant with any other relief to which it is entitled.
