Appellant, Metropolitan Transit Authority (“METRO”), filed a notice of appeal of a final judgment signed on December 4, 2015. Appellant, Beverly Brooks, then filed her notice of appeal of the December 4, 2015 judgment. Each appellant’s brief initially was due on August 8, 2016. ^[1] See T EX . R. A PP . P. 38.6(a).

On August 15, 2016, the Clerk of this Court notified METRO that it had not filed a brief or a motion for an extension of time to file a brief and the time to file the brief had expired. On August 31, 2016, METRO filed a motion requesting an extension to October 17, 2016. The Court granted the motion and extended the time to file the brief to October 17, 2016, with no further extensions absent exceptional circumstances. METRO has filed a second motion for an extension of time to file its appellant’s brief. We grant the motion. METRO’s appellant’s brief is due to be filed no later than December 16, 2016. No additional extensions will be granted.

^[1] Brooks filed her appellant’s brief on August 29, 2016. METRO’s appellee’s brief, therefore, was due to be filed on September 28, 2016. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 38.6(b). As of this date, METRO has filed neither an appellee’s brief nor a motion for extension of time to file that brief. The appeal may proceed without METRO’s appellee’s brief unless METRO files (1) a motion to extend time to file its appellee’s brief or (2) its brief accompanied by a motion to extend time to file its brief. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 10.5(b), 38.6(d). If METRO does not intend to file an appellee’s brief, METRO should notify the Court within 14 days of the date of this notice so the submission of the appeal will not be delayed.

It is so ORDERED.
