No. 15-25-00093-CV CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE CLERK

In the Court of Appeals

for the Fifteenth Judicial District The State of Texas,

Appellant,

v.

City of San Antonio; Ron Nirenberg, in his official capacity as Mayor of the City of San Antonio; Erik Walsh, in his official capacity as City Manager of the City of San Antonio,

Appellees.

On Appeal from the

407th Judicial District Court, Bexar County

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

In accordance with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), Appellant the State of Texas files this motion for extension of time to file Appellant’s opening brief. Appellant’s opening brief is currently due on August 20, 2025. Appellant requests a 30-day extension of this deadline, up to and including September 19, 2025. This is Appellant’s first request for an extension for this filing and it is unopposed .

I.

The requested 30-day extension is necessary due to Appellant’s counsel’s multiple engagements that have required and will require significant attention. Some examples include:

• Assisting in emergency proceedings in Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. v.

Paxton, 1:25-cv-01160 (W.D. Tex.);

• Assisting in emergency proceedings in Sophia Myers et al. v. Stephen F. Austin State University, 9:25-cv-00187 (E.D. Tex.); and • Mandamus and stay proceedings in In re Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, 25-0663 (Tex.).

An extension of time will allow Appellant’s counsel to prepare a thorough opening brief that will be helpful to the Court in assessing the case’s merits. This unopposed extension is sought in the interest of justice, not for delay, and no party will be prejudiced if this extension is granted.

II.

For these reasons, Appellant requests that the Court grant its unopposed motion for a 30-day extension of time to file its opening brief, resulting in a new deadline of September 19, 2025.

Respectfully submitted.
