TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:
Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1 and 38.6(d), the Appellant, Maria Resendiz,
files this First Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief. Maria
Resendiz’s opening brief is due on July 9, 2015. Counsel for Maria Resendiz
requests a 46-day extension of time to file its brief, making the brief due on August
24, 2015. This is the first request for extension of time to file the opening brief.
In addition to the routine matters that counsel must attend to in daily practice
counsel for Maria Resendiz seeks this extension of time to be able to prepare a cogent
and succinct brief to aid this Court in its analysis of the issues presented. This request
is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done.
The undersigned has conferred with opposing counsel, and he has indicated
that his client does not oppose this motion. All facts recited in this motion are within
the personal knowledge of the counsel signing this motion, therefore no verification
is necessary under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.2.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
For the reasons set forth above, Appellant requests that this Court grant this
First Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief and extend the
deadline for filing the Appellant’s Brief up to and including August 24, 2015.
Patricia Gonzalez requests all other relief to which she may be entitled.
