This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D relating to the Class A Common Stock of National Western Life Group, Inc. (“Issuer”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 15, 2016 (the “Initial Statement”) by Robert L. Moody, Sr., Moody National Bank, Moody Bancshares, Inc., Moody Bank Holding Company, Three R Trusts, and Irwin M. Herz, Jr. (the “Initial Statement Filers”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Statement filed with the SEC on October 16, 2019 by the Initial Statement Filers and The Robert L.
