Re: CreateAI Holdings, Inc. F/K/A TuSimple Holdings, Inc. v.
Bot Auto TX Inc., in the Fifteenth Court of Appeals Cause
No. 15-25-00001-CV

Dear Mr. Prine:

Looking toward the upcoming oral argument in this appeal, which
is scheduled four weeks from today, Appellee Bot Auto TX Inc. (“Bot
Auto”) respectfully writes concerning two matters.

First, in response to the Court’s September 10, 2025 letter, Bot
Auto notifies the Court that Allison Allman will present oral argument
on its behalf on October 30, 2025.

Second, this is an interlocutory appeal. Accordingly, Bot Auto
respectfully requests the Court take notice of the ongoing proceedings
below and the pleadings and other matters filed of record in the docket,1
which include:

 Bot Auto’s Motion for Summary Judgment on Trade Secret
Misappropriation (April 1, 2025) (seeking summary judgment
on Appellant CreateAI Holdings, Inc. (“CreateAI”)’s
misappropriation claims concerning the three alleged “trade
secrets” alleged in CreateAI’s Original Petition and made the

appeal, namely: (1) the “TuSimple Sensor Suite Technology”;
(2) the “TuSimple Autonomous Decision-Making Technology”;
and (3) the “TuSimple Automatic Safety Technology”);

 CreateAI’s Amended Petition and Application for Temporary
Injunction (May 14, 2025)2 (replacing the three alleged “trade
secrets” alleged in CreateAI’s Original Petition and
Application for Temporary Injunction with twelve new alleged
“trade secrets” with different definitions and formulations);
and

 CreateAI’s Response to Defendant Bot Auto TX Inc.’s Motion
for Summary Judgment on Trade Secret Misappropriation
(May 15, 2025) (expressing that CreateAI’s misappropriation
of trade secrets claim “has been radically modified … which
renders [Bot Auto’s] summary judgment motion moot” and
that “CreateAI’s amended pleading necessarily moots Bot
Auto’s summary judgment motion, as there are entirely new
trade secrets at issue that are unaddressed by Bot Auto’s
motion for summary judgment”).3

2 CreateAI filed its Reply Brief in this Court on May 13, 2025 .

3 Bot Auto subsequently filed a new motion for summary judgment directed at
CreateAI’s new, “twelve species of technology and capability” now at issue below,
which Motion is pending with the trial court. See Bot Auto’s Motions for Summary
Judgment on CreateAI’s Claims and Bot Auto’s Counterclaims – Volumes 1–6 (July

CreateAI’s Claims (August 18, 2025); Bot Auto’s Reply in Support of its Motions for
Summary Judgment on Bot Auto’s Counterclaims (August 18, 2025); Bot Auto’s
Correspondence Concerning Continuation of Summary Judgment Hearing and Bot
Auto’s Evidentiary Objections (August 24, 2025); Bot Auto’s Correspondence Further
to September 2, 2025 Hearing and CreateAI’s Scheme to Misuse this Court
(September 4, 2025); Bot Auto’s Correspondence Regarding CreateAI’s Third
Amended Response to Bot Auto’s Interrogatory No. 1 (September 11, 2025); Bot
