From the 285th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2012-CI-14775 Honorable John D. Gabriel Jr., Judge Presiding
ORDER
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
This court has received Appellant's opening brief and his Motion for Leave to Exceed Word Limit. Appellant's word count, excluding the sections listed in Rule 9.4(i)(1), amounts to 20,503 words, i.e., 5,503 words over the limit stated in Rule 9.4(i)(2)(B). See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.4(i)(1), 9.4(i)(2)(B). Appellant has avowed "that the issues have been forthrightly discussed" and "the number of words necessary to do justice is more than the word-limit imposed by the Rules." Appellant's Motion for Leave to Exceed Word Limit is granted. See id. R. 9.4(i)(4).
For any responsive brief, we will grant only up to the same excess if any responding party deems it necessary to exceed the limit as stated under Rule 9.4(i)(2)(B). See id. R. 9.4(i)(2)(B); see also Interest of T.N.R., No. 14-21-00473-CV, 2022 WL 370035, at *8 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] Feb. 8, 2022, no pet.) (citing Blaise Pascal, Les Provinciales (1657)) ("Writing too much says something, and it is not favorable to the court.").
