| (a) At any time before a referral to SOAH, a petitioner
may request an extension of time for any deadline, except the deadline
to file a petition, by submitting a request for extension to the division
director.
(b) A request for an extension of time must be submitted
in writing and received by the division director at least five calendar
days in advance of the original deadline for which the extension is
requested. If requested in writing by the petitioner and for good
cause shown, the division director may waive the requirement that
the request for the extension be made five calendar days in advance
of the deadline.
(c) A request for an extension of time must be for
good cause shown. Good cause does not include petitioner's neglect,
indifference, or lack of diligence. Good cause does not include a
claim that the time periods established in this subchapter are insufficient.
(d) An extension of time under this section may not
extend the deadline for more than ten calendar days.
