                                       Appellant,

                                            v.

        LANTANA SOUTHWEST HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION, INC.,

                                        Appellee,

                       AGREED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME

TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

                Appellee, Lantana Southwest Homeowners’ Association (“Lantana”)

files this First Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellee’s Reply

Brief, pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 38.6 and 10.5(b)(1), and

would respectfully show unto the Court the following:

        1.      The current deadline for filing Lantana’s Reply Brief is April 16,

2015.

        2.      Lantana seeks a 30-day extension of time to file its Reply Brief,

whereby the deadline would be on May 16, 2015.
                                            1
      3.     This extension of time is sought because the briefing required for the

Reply Brief is extensive, and the undersigned counsel for Lantana has both

depositions and a mediation in two multiple party cases during the time the

briefing is required under the current deadline. Because the cases both involve

multiple parties and because the dates were agreed upon in advance of Appellant’s

Brief, it would be inefficient and impractical to attempt to reschedule the prior

commitments so that adequate time may be afforded to the briefing.

      4.     This is the first Motion for Extension of Time filed with the court by

Lantana.

      5.     This motion is agreed/unopposed.

      6.     This extension of time is not requested for mere delay, but to allow

counsel adequate time to accurately present the issues on appeal.

      For these reasons, Appellee Lantana respectfully requests that this Court

grant a 30-day extension of time to file its Reply Brief herein, and set the deadline

for filing the same to May 16, 2015.
