CROSS-APPELLANTS’ FIRST UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION
              OF TIME TO FILE REPLY BRIEF



TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellees/Cross-Appellants, Richard T. Archer, David B. Archer, Carol

Archer Bugg, John V. Archer, Karen Archer Ball, and Sherri Archer (the Archer

Family), respectfully file their Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 38.6(c) and

10.5(b) First Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Cross-Appellants’

Reply Brief.

                                      2
      Cross-Appellee filed their brief on December 8, 2015. The Archer Family’s

Cross-Appellants’ Reply Brief is currently due December 28, 2015. This case is set

on the Court’s January 27, 2016 oral argument docket. The Archer Family

respectfully requests a 14-day extension of time, making their reply brief due on

January 11, 2016.

      The Archer Family requests a 14-day extension of their December 28, 2015

deadline for the following reasons.

      The requested extension is necessary for the Archer Family’s counsel to have

sufficient time to prepare their Cross-Appellants’ Reply Brief and to satisfy other

obligations. Ms. Ratliff is and has been working on other trial court matters with

deadlines during the relevant time that necessitate the filing of this motion. Further,

Ms. Ratliff is scheduled to be out of the office for the Christmas holiday on several

days during the time when the brief is currently due.

      This is the Archer Family’s first request for an extension of time to file their

Cross-Appellants’ Reply Brief. Appellants/Cross-Appellees filed, and the Court

granted, three extensions of time to file their appellants’ brief. The Court further

granted an opposed motion for leave to file cross-appellees’ brief, effectively

granting Cross-Appellees a nine-month extension of time.

      The Archer Family’s requested extension is not sought for delay.

      Cross-Appellees do not oppose the Archer Family’s requested extension.



                                          3
      For these reasons, Appellee/Cross-Appellants Richard T. Archer, David B.

Archer, Carol Archer Bugg, John V. Archer, Karen Archer Ball, and Sherri Archer

respectfully request that this Court grant their first unopposed motion for extension

of time and set Cross-Appellants’ Reply Brief deadline for January 11, 2016. The

Archer Family prays for such other and further relief to which they may be entitled.

                                       Respectfully submitted,
