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,
