Senior Care Living, VI, LLC and Mark C. Bouldin v. Preston Hollow Capital, LLC, UMB Bank N.A., and TMI Trust Company
Trial court: 458th District Court of Fort Bend County Trial court case number: 19-DCV-265897.
ORDER
April Farris, Justice.
On November 15, 2022, appellee, Preston Hollow Capital, LLC, filed an unopposed motion for leave to exceed the word count prescribed by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.4. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.4(i)(2)(B). In its motion, Preston Hollow states that appellants, Senior Care Living, VI, LLC and Mark C. Bouldin, filed separate appellate briefs which "assert some overlapping arguments," but also assert "numerous individual arguments."
Preston Hollow therefore states that "[f]or the convenience of the Court and the parties," it is preparing a single appellee's brief responding to both appellants' briefs. However, "[i]n order to address the numerous arguments made in both briefs," Preston Hollow "requests that it be granted permission to exceed the 15,000-word limit."
Preston Hollow's motion includes a certificate of conference stating that the relief requested in the motion is unopposed by appellants and appellees, UMB Bank, N.A., and TMI Trust Company. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.1(a)(5), 10.3.
Preston Hollow's motion is granted. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.4(i)(4). Preston Hollow's appellee's brief, due on or before December 19, 2022, may have a word count exceeding 15,000 words, but must not exceed 20,000 words.
It is so ORDERED.
