See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(c). On September 8, 2014, Appellant filed an opposed first motion for an extension of time to file the reply brief. Appellant’s motion does not state how much additional time he is requesting. We construe his motion as a request for an additional ten days to file the reply brief.

Appellant’s motion is GRANTED. Appellant’s reply brief must be filed in this court no later than September 29, 2014. See id. R. 38.6(d). NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS OF TIME TO FILE THE REPLY BRIEF WILL BE GRANTED.

Appellant’s reply brief may address any matter in Appellees’ brief. Id. R. 38.3. The reply brief must provide “a clear and concise argument for the contentions made, with appropriate citations to authorities.” Id. R. 38.1(i); cf. Canton-Carter v. Baylor Coll. of Med., 271 S.W.3d 928, 931 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2008, no pet.).

We caution Appellant that this court may consider and decide this appeal before Appellant files his reply brief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.3.
