APPELLEE’S SECOND MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF PAGE 2

A. INTRODUCTION

1. Appellants are: Christopher Peterson; Robert Turner; and 

Scott and Pamela Reichardt. Appellee is Overlook at Lake Austin, L.P. 

(“Overlook”).

2. The trial court is the 201st Judicial District Court of Travis 

County, Texas. The Hon. Orlinda Naranjo was the presiding judge of 

the trial court regarding the order complained of on appeal. 

3. No rule limits the time within which to file this motion to extend time. 

See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d).

B. ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES

4. The Court may extend the time to file the brief on a motion filed 

before or after a brief is due. Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d).

5. Appellee’s brief was originally due November 2. According to this 

Court’s November 3 letter notice, the Court granted Appellee one prior extension 

of time to file Appellee’s brief until November 14.

6. Appellee requests an additional 7 days to file its brief, extending the 

deadline for filing Appellee’s brief until November 21, 2016.

7. Appellee requests additional time to file Appellee’s brief because its 

appellate counsel underestimated the amount of time necessary to review

Appellants’ briefs and supporting documents (2,439 page Clerk’s Record; 4 

volume Reporter’s Record), and prepare a brief responsive to Appellants’ issues. 

While preparing Appellee’s brief, Appellee’s counsel determined that the Court 

lacks appellate jurisdiction to review the interlocutory order on appeal. Appellee 

prepared and filed its separate APPELLEE’S MOTION TO DISMISS FOR 

LACK OF JURISDICTION to present the issue of the Court’s jurisdiction. 

8. Appellee will finalize and file Appellee’s brief to provide Appellee’s 

responses to Appellants’ issues on appeal. 

C. CONCLUSION 

9. Appellee asserts good cause for additional time to file its brief as 

allowed under the rules. For the reasons stated above, the Court should extend the 

time to file Appellee’s brief to November 21, 2016. 

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellee prays that 

this Court extend the time for Appellee to file its brief until November 

21, 2016.
