                             B. Argument & Authorities

  4. The Court may grant an extension of time to file briefs under Texas Rule of

Appellate Procedure 38.6.

  5. The deadline to file the Reply Brief is November 19, 2015.

  6. Appellant requests this extension due to counsel having:

        - Intervening cases that had immediate impending deadlines preventing a

timely reply brief to be completed;

        - A week-long out-of-state administrative law conference that occurred in

the past month;

      - Unexpected contract negotiations required in a separate matter that

distracted the undersigned counsel from reviewing and addressing Appellee’s

brief for over a week.

  7. No previous extension has been requested or granted to extend the time to

file Appellant’s Brief.

                                       C. Prayer

  8. For these reasons, Appellant asks the Court to grant an extension of time to

file Brief until December 9, 2015.
