with oral argument for November 18, 2021, at 2:30 P.M. t h r o u g h t h e Eighth Court o f
Appeals’ ZOOM license. Counsel are instructed not to appear at the Court’s physical
address.

       Counsel will receive a separate email that will contain a https://txcourts.zoom.us/j/xxxxxxx
address for the argument. Regarding Zoom oral arguments, Counsel are admonished as follows:

      1. You will need a computer, laptop, or other device with a camera and microphone.
You will also need access to the internet.

        2. The link to Zoom is only for lead counsel of record. You are instructed not to share
that link with any other person. The argument itself, however, will be live streamed to the

Court will record the argument as per its usual practice.

        4. We appreciate the need of counsel to appear remotely, and possibly from a
residence. To eliminate feedback and background noise, we admonish counsel to turn off other
electronic devices (i.e., televisions, radios, cell phones) and to isolate yourself from other
household noises.

        5. We also encourage counsel to familiarize yourself with the ZOOM platform before
the argument. In that regard, the Court may send you a link to a separate ZOOM session a few
days prior to the argument to verify your connectivity and equipment.

       If the case is settled or will not be argued for any reason, the clerk shall be notified
at once so that the court can maintain a full docket of cases to be argued. Any motion to
vacate should be filed within 10 days of this notice.

    ARGUMENTS ARE LIMITED TO TWENTY MINUTES EACH SIDE, WITH
TEN MINUTES ADDITIONAL REBUTTAL FOR APPELLANT(S). LEAVE OF
COURT MUST BE OBTAINED FOR ADDITIONAL TIME.
