Appellants' unopposed motion for the extension of time to file their notice of appeal, because they mistakenly viewed the trial court's October 3, 2014 Transocean order to be a final judgment instead of an interlocutory order, is granted because their mistake is a reasonable explanation. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 51.014(a)(7); Hone v. Hanafin, 104 S.W.3d 884, 886 (2003). The Clerk of this Court is directed to change this to an accelerated appeal and update the record deadlines to be due within 10 days of the date of this order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 2, 35.1(b).
