APPELLANTS – INTERVENOR PLAINTIFFS CITY OF ANNA and CITY
OF BONHAM’s SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION
FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF
____________________________________________________________
Pursuant to Rule 10.5(b) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure,
Appellants – Intervenor Plaintiffs, City of Anna (“Anna”) and City of Bonham
- APPELLANTS – INTERVENOR PLAINTIFFS SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION
OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF - Page 1 of 5
(“Bonham”)(collectively, “Movants”) respectfully requests an approximately
two week extension of time to file their reply briefs.1
1. Movants filed a notice of appeal on May 8, 2025.
2. Movants’ principal brief was filed on August 15, 2025.
3. Appellee’s response brief was due Monday, September 15, 2025
and requested a 30-day extension until October 15, 2025 which was granted.
4. Appellees filed a second unopposed motion for extension of time
for an additional 16 days, which was granted and extended their response
deadline to October 31, 2025.
5. Appellees filed a third unopposed motion for extension of time for
an additional 14 days extending their deadline to November 14, 2025.
6. Appellant Cities (the parties other than Anna and Bonham who
constitute plaintiffs in the original suit) filed an unopposed extension of time
for their reply brief on December 1, 2025, which was granted and extended
their reply brief deadline to December 29, 2025. Movants were granted a
similar extension after their unopposed motion was filed December 4, 2025.
1 Although Anna and Bonham are represented by the same attorneys in this cause, they are independent
parties operating under separate pleadings. Due to differences between them, they may submit separate
briefs as this appeal progresses. That said, they are joined in this request for extension of their deadlines
to file reply briefs.

OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF - Page 2 of 5
7. Appellant Cities filed a second unopposed motion for extension
of time for their reply brief on December 18, 2025, which was granted and
extended their deadline to January 8, 2026.
8. Movants current deadline to file a reply brief is December 29,
2025.
9. The Movants seek additional time to file their respective briefs,
in part due to the complexity of the issues and the unexpected events which
have disrupted timing matters for the other appellants. In addition, the
requested extension of the Movants’ deadlines will synchronize them with
other appellants: it should enhance judicial efficiency, reduce chances for
confusion, and will cause no additional delays in final resolution of the case.
10. The Court has authority under Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 38.6(d) to extend the time to file a brief.
11. Appellees are unopposed to the relief requested herein.
12. One extension was previously requested and granted to extend
the time to file the Movants’ reply brief. It is not anticipated that the Movants
will seek any further extensions of this deadline.
WHEREFORE, Appellants – Intervenor Plaintiffs, Cities of Anna and
Bonham, pray that the Court grant this motion and likewise extend the time
to file their reply briefs to the same deadline as provided to other parties,
- APPELLANTS – INTERVENOR PLAINTIFFS SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION
