Q: Is there a template for an order accompaning a motion for extension of time in a chapter 13 case in Texas
A:
Without first checking myself, my best guess is probably not, but to be sure, go online to the website of the federal district where you're located, and it should list "Forms". Under that heading, go to "local forms", and check out what's shown there.
Incidentally, from your question, it seems you are proceeding in a Ch. 13 bankruptcy case without a lawyer. Bad idea, imho. The terrain in bankruptcy is a strange world for one with no prior experience. Your best path is to engage experienced counsel, not just for you current issue, but for the many upcoming issues you will face, and about which you know little or nothing. Many times, I have had to explain to a client such as you that it's more expensive and compolicated first to rescue you from that alligator-infested swamp, and then get you across safely.

Keep in mind that this is a general template, and the specific language and formatting may vary depending on local rules and the preferences of the bankruptcy judge. It's always best to consult with a local bankruptcy attorney or refer to the local rules of the specific bankruptcy court for guidance on the proper formatting and language for such an order.
