Leticia R. BENAVIDES, Appellant v. Cristina B. ALEXANDER, as Permanent Guardian of the Person of Carlos Y. Benavides, Jr.; Carlos Y. Benavides, III; Rancho Viejo Cattle Company, Ltd.; Benavides Management, LLC; and Linda Cristina Alexander and Guillermo Benavides, as Managers of Benavides Management, LLC, Appellees


From the 49th Judicial District Court, Webb County, Texas Trial Court No. 2012CVQ-000161-D1 Honorable Honorable Jose A. Lopez, Judge Presiding

Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice, Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Beth Watkins, Justice.

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

This appeal is set for submission on oral argument on September 16, 2021. On September 13, 2021, cross-appellants filed a motion requesting "an additional 10 minutes to present argument, so that each side will have 30 minutes." Cross-appellants also request that their additional time be allotted toward a separate "time for rebuttal after [appellant] argues." Appellant filed a response arguing that because she is the appellant, Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 39.3 provides that she "must be allowed to conclude the argument." Tex.R.App.P. 39.3.

After consideration, cross-appellants' motion is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. We GRANT cross-appellants' request for additional time and DENY cross-appellants' request to present rebuttal after appellant completes all of her argument. See id. We ORDER that the oral argument will proceed as follows:

--Appellant will have 20 minutes to present her opening argument;
--Cross-appellants will have one 30-minute period to present their opening argument and any rebuttal to appellant's opening argument;
-
-Appellant will have 10 minutes to present rebuttal argument.

It is so ORDERED.
