TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellant AusPro Enterprises, LP files this unopposed motion for a

30-day extension of time in which to file Appellant’s Supplemental Reply on

Reed v. Town of Gilbert, which is currently due on September 8, 2015.

Counsel for Appellant has several upcoming deadlines in other cases,

including responses and reply briefing in Grupo Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V. v.

SAS Asset Recovery, Ltd., Misc. Action No. 3-14 MC-073-G-BH, in the

United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas and No. 15-

10300, in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit; response

briefing in Martin v. Andrews Kurth LLP, No. 2013-61098, in the District

Court of Harris County, Texas; and an amicus brief in Fisher v. University of

Texas, No. 14-981, in the Supreme Court of the United States. As a result,

counsel needs additional time to prepare AusPro’s supplemental reply

addressing the impact of the Supreme Court’s decision in Reed on this case.

      Appellant has not requested any previous extensions of time to file the

supplemental reply. The Court granted three previous requests for extension

of time to file AusPro’s opening brief. Appellee Texas Department of

Transportation does not oppose this request for an extension. This extension

is not sought for delay, and no party will be prejudiced if it is granted. With

                                       3
a 30-day extension, Appellant’s supplemental reply would be due on

October 8, 2015.

                                  PRAYER

      For the above reasons, Appellant respectfully requests a 30-day

extension of time to file its supplemental reply on Reed.

                                       Respectfully submitted,
