APPEAL FROM THE 345TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS
NO. D-1-GN-1-0-000772

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF
TIME TO FILE OPENING BRIEF

NOW COMES Appellant Baxter Oil Service, Ltd. and files this Unopposed Motion

for Extension of Time to File Opening Brief, and in support thereof would

respectfully show the Court as follows:

1. Baxter filed its notice of appeal on July 17, 2015. The clerk’s record was filed

on July 31, 2015, and the reporter’s record was filed on August 3, 2015.

2. Appellant hereby requests an extension for filing its opening brief.

Appellant requires additional time because Appellant’s counsel did not represent

{00030275}
Appellant in the proceedings below, making it necessary for Appellant’s counsel to

spend additional time familiarizing themselves with the record on appeal.

Additionally, lead appellate counsel has several other deadlines throughout August

and September of 2015, including briefing deadlines in:

a. Crawford Medical Supplies, LLC et al. v. Huntliegh Home Medical,
Ltd. et al.; No. 04-15-00427-CV, in the Fourth Court of Appeals
District, San Antonio, Texas;
b. Board of Adjustment for the City of San Antonio v. Michael and Theresa
Hayes; No. 04-15-00021-CV, in the Fourth Court of Appeals District,
San Antonio, Texas
3. Appellant requests an extension such that the brief will be due on or before

September 25, 2015.

4. Counsel for Appellant contacted counsel for Appellee, who indicated that the

requested extension is unopposed.

5. This is Appellant’s first request for an extension for filing its opening brief

and the extension is not sought for delay, but so that justice may be had.

WHEREFORE Appellant prays that this Motion be granted such that Appellant’s

opening brief be considered timely filed on or before September 25, 2015, and this

Court award Appellant such other and further relief, both general and special, at law

or in equity, to which it may be entitled.
