IN THE INTEREST OF D.D.R., N.R.R., AND A.R., CHILDREN
From the 45th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2017PA00986
Honorable Richard Garcia, Judge Presiding
ORDER
In this accelerated appeal of the trial court's order terminating Appellant's parental rights to her children, the reporter's record was due on September 10, 2018. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.1(b).
On September 17, 2018, court reporter Angelita Rangel Jimenez filed a notification of late reporter's record. She indicated her other duties preclude her from working on the record, and she expects to file the record by September 24, 2018.
The reporter's motion for extension of time to file the reporter's record is GRANTED. The reporter's record must be filed with this court by September 24, 2018. See id. R. 35.3(c) (limiting an extension in an accelerated appeal to ten days).
The child's "need for permanence is the paramount consideration for the child's present and future physical and emotional needs." See Dupree v. Tex. Dep't of Protective & Regulatory Servs., 907 S.W.2d 81, 87 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1995, no writ). This court must render its decision "with the least possible delay," and any further delays in obtaining the reporter's record will hinder this court in its duty. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(c); In re J.L., 163 S.W.3d 79, 82 (Tex. 2005) (quoting TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 263.405(a) (West 2014)). Any further requests for extension of time to file the reporter's record will be disfavored.
