MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE ANY SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF 

The Attorney General of Texas, on behalf of the State of Texas, as well as the Attorney 

General and the Secretary of State of Texas in their offical capacities, hereby move the Court for 

an extension of time, until April 14, 1993, to file any supplemental brief pursuant to the notice of 

the Clerk of the Court dated March 3, 1993. The grounds follow: 

1. On March 29, 1993, the Attorney General filed with this Court a Notice of Action 

Toward Resolution of Appeal, which had appended to it a Settlement Agreement ("Agreement") 

among the attorneys for specified parties as well as the Governor of Texas, Lieutenant Governor 

of Texas, the Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, and the Secretary of State. 

2. As indicated in the first paragraph of the Preconditions section, the Agreement is 

"conditioned upon and shall not take effect unless it receives majority approval of both houses of 

the Texas Legislature." 

3 The process of legislative consideration of the Agreement for approval has begun 

but not been completed. Permitting the requested extension of time until April 14, 1993, will 

offer the legislature an opportunity to act on the Agreement before the necessity of filing a 

supplemental brief. Also, it will not delay other aspects of the briefing schedule established in 

the March 3rd Clerk's letter, because the plaintiff-appellees, in agreeing to the relief sought in 

this motion, see § 4, have agreed that it should not affect the deadline of April 19, 1993, for the 

appellees’ responsive briefs.  



  

4. The plaintiff-appellees have indicated that they do not oppose the extension of 

time relief requested in this motion. 

Based upon the foregoing, including the fact that the requested extension will not 

otherwise impinge on the deadlines established in the March 3rd Clerk's communication and the 

fact that the plaintiff-appellees do not oppose it, it is urged that the Court grant this motion and 

extend the deadline for any filing of the state's supplemental brief to April 14, 1993. 

Respectfully submitted,
