v.

LOST RIVER HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, Appellee.

On Appeal from the 26th District Court, Williamson County, Texas (No. 24-0553-C26) The Honorable Donna King, Presiding

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANTS’ BRIEF

Kevin J. Terrazas State Bar No. 24060708 kterrazas@atlawpllc.com Jennifer A. Foster State Bar No. 24104938 jfoster@atlawpllc.com ARAMBULA TERRAZAS PLLC 1001 S. Capital of Texas Hwy. Bldg. L, Suite 250 Austin, Texas 78746 512-904-0200 Appellants Rhonda and Bruce Carnley (“Appellants”) respectfully

request a 30-day extension of the deadline to file their opening brief in

the above-captioned matter. This is Appellants’ first request for an

extension of the deadline to file their brief. The Court’s current deadline for Appellants to file their opening brief is January 16, 2026. If

Appellants’ request is granted, the brief will be due on February 16, 2026.

Appellants request this extension because Appellants’ lead counsel has had and will continue to have significant time commitments related

to numerous other ongoing cases that make it impracticable to complete

the opening brief in this matter by the current deadline, including:

• Drafting an appellate brief in John Gower and Christine Mills v. The River Mews Association, Inc., et al., No. 4D2025-2566 in the Fourth District Court of Appeals for the State of Florida;

• Drafting an appellate brief in Daniel Khwaja v. 1545 W. North Avenue, LLC, et al., No. 1-25-1995 in Appellate Court of Illinois for the First District;

• Preparation for a jury trial and motions hearings in In re Estate of Norberto Salinas, No. P-42,216 in the Probate Court of Hidalgo County, Texas;

• Significant summary judgment briefing in Rachel and Mark Schwartz v. Thomas Sebold & Associates, Inc., in Private Arbitration before Kevin Hendricks; and

• Preparation of the appellants’ brief in Firmus Centro, LLC v. ATX Self-Storage, LLC, No. 07-25-00408-CV in the Seventh Court of Appeals, Amarillo, Texas.

2 Appellant’s counsel has conferred with counsel for Appellee Lost

River Homeowners’ Association, who advises that Appellee is not opposed

to Appellants’ request for an extension of time.

For the foregoing reasons, Appellants respectfully request a 30-day extension of time to file their opening brief, extending the deadline up to

and including February 16, 2026. Respectfully submitted,
