TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

         Appellant, Chris Bell, files this Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File

Reply Brief and in support would respectfully show as follows:

         1.       Appellant’s reply brief is currently due on June 1, 2015.

         2.       Appellant requests an additional fourteen (14) days to file his reply

brief, extending the time to June 15, 2015.

         3.       Appellant needs additional time to file his reply brief because the

undersigned has a brief due in this Court on June 5, 2015, in Case No. 03-15-

AUS-6110664-1 523389/1
00259-CV, styled Becky, Ltd. v. The City of Cedar Park, et al. In addition, the

parties are engaged in settlement negotiations.

         4.       This request is not for purpose of delay, but so that justice may be

done and this Court may be fully informed of all factual and legal information

relevant to the proper disposition of this appeal.

         WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant requests that this

Court grant his Motion for Extension of Time to File Reply Brief on or before June

15, 2015.

                                             Respectfully submitted,
