                       Absent extraordinary circumstances, the Court will not grant additional motions to extend time

              Denied
              Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)
              Other: Court records are presumed to be open to the general public. Tex. R. Civ. P. 76a; Gen. Tire,
         Inc. v. Kepple, 970 S.W.2d 520, 523 (Tex. 1998). Even when the substantive standard for sealing court
         records is satisfied, see Tex. R. Civ. P. 76a(1), the rules of civil procedure require public notice and a
         hearing, see Tex. R. Civ. P. 76a(3) & (4). Any party wishing to seal a portion of the appellate record in this
         case should first follow the procedures of Rule 76a and then request this court to seal the record in
         conformity with the trial court's order, see Tex. R. Civ. P. 76a(6), or appeal the trial court's ruling, see Tex.
         R. Civ. P. 76a(8), or take such other action as the party may deem appropriate after following the Rule 76a
         procedure.
