On Appeal from the 353rd Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas No. D-1-GN-22-000773
APPELLANT TEXAS HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION TO FILE REPLY BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FIFTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellant, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC),
respectfully requests an extension of time to and including December 29,2025 in
which to file its reply brief in the captioned appeal. In support, the HHSC would
show the Court as follows:
1. Appellant HHSC filed its Appellant Brief on October 6, 2025.
2. Appellee filed her brief on November 5, 2025.
3. Appellant HHSC’s reply brief is currently due on November 25, 2025.
4. No previous extensions have been requested or granted.
5. Counsel for Appellant HHSC is requesting the extension due to an
injury that needs considerable medical attention, as well as other unanticipated
management and work-related matters.
6. This motion is not interposed for the purpose of delay, but only to allow
Appellant HHSC’s counsel the time to adequately prepare and file a reply brief.
7. Appellee’s counsel has stated that she does not oppose this request.
Appellant HHSC therefore respectfully requests an extension of time to and
including December 29, 2025, in which to file and serve its reply brief in the
