[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Today's Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Position] [Court's Name] [Court's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: Motion to Continue — [Case Number] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to formally request a continuance for the above-mentioned case, based on unforeseen circumstances that have hindered my ability to adequately prepare for the scheduled hearing on [date]. I have thoroughly reviewed the relevant laws and regulations pertaining to continuances in San Antonio, Texas. As per Rule [insert relevant rule number] of the San Antonio Texas Civil Court Rules, I understand that a motion to continue must be filed in writing and presented to the court in a timely manner. The purpose of this motion to continue is to establish valid grounds for the rescheduling of the hearing. I assure you that this request is not made with any intention to unduly delay or obstruct the legal process, but rather to ensure a fair and just outcome for all parties involved. The reasons for this motion are explained below: 1. Unforeseen Personal Circumstances: Due to serious family matters beyond my control, my availability to adequately prepare for the hearing has been significantly compromised. These circumstances have arisen quite recently and require my immediate attention and presence. 2. Essential Documentation: In order to present a comprehensive defense and ensure the presentation of all pertinent evidence, I require sufficient time to gather additional documentation and witness statements. The current timeline for the hearing does not allow for adequate completion of these crucial tasks. To support my motion, I have attached relevant documents to provide a clearer understanding of the aforementioned circumstances. [List the enclosed documents, such as affidavits, medical records, or any other supporting evidence.] Considering the nature of the case, I genuinely believe that postponing the hearing is in the best interest of justice for all parties involved. Granting this continuance will allow me to address the unforeseen circumstances, gather necessary evidence, and be fully prepared for the hearing. It would also prevent any potential prejudice that could arise from proceeding under the current circumstances. I kindly request that you consider this motion to continue with leniency and fairness. Should you require any further information or evidence to support my request, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone number] or via email at [email address]. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the court will carefully evaluate the circumstances presented and make a just decision regarding the motion to continue. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
