Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas February 13, 2019 No. 04-18-00830-CV Rene VELA, Appellant v. MURPHY EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION COMPANY-USA and Nabors Drilling Technologies, Inc., Appellees From the 365th Judicial District Court, Dimmit County, Texas Trial Court No. 14-05-12283-DCV-AJA Honorable Amado J. Abascal, III, Judge Presiding ORDER Appellant’s brief was originally due January 11, 2019; however, the court granted an extension of time until February 11. Appellant has filed a motion asking for an additional thirty- day extension of time to to file the brief. We grant the motion and order appellant’s brief due March 13, 2019 (61 days after the original due date). The court does not ordinarily grant extensions of more than sixty days beyond the original due date. Counsel is therefore advised that no further extensions of time will be granted absent a motion, filed before the brief is due, that (1) demonstrates extraordinary circumstances justifying further delay, (2) advises the court of the efforts counsel has expended in preparing the brief, and (3) provides the court reasonable assurance that the brief will be completed and filed by the requested extended deadline. The court does not generally consider a heavy work schedule to be an extraordinary circumstance. _________________________________ Luz Elena D.
