Re: Cause No. 15-25-00011-CV: Appellants’ request for leave to file a response to
the sur-reply brief filed by Appellee Gensetix, Inc. (Unopposed)

To the Honorable Fifteenth Court of Appeals,

Appellants, The Board of Regents of the University of Texas System, The University of
Texas System, and The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer System, respectfully seek
leave to file a response to address matters raised in Appellee’s sur-reply brief filed with this Court
on October 31, 2025. Appellants did not oppose Appellee’s request for leave to file a sur-reply to
address this Court’s Curadev opinion, as that opinion was issued after Appellee’s Reply was filed.
Appellee, however, went beyond that to argue various other issues – both legal and factual.
Appellants seek leave to address Appellee’s arguments in their sur-reply as well as the other
arguments raised by Appellee.

Appellants have conferred about this request and counsel for Appellee states that
Appellee does not oppose this request for leave.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 713-226-1467.

Sincerely,

Troutman Pepper Locke LLP
