IN THE INTEREST OF D.J.R., a Child
From the 45th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020PA02365 Honorable Nicole Garza, Judge Presiding
ORDER
PER CURIAM
This is an accelerated appeal of an order terminating appellant's parental rights which must be disposed of by this court within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed. TEX. R. JUD. ADMIN. 6.2. The reporter's record was originally due September 19, 2022, but was not filed. On October 3, 2022, we ordered the court reporter to file the reporter's record by October 13, 2022, but it was not filed. On October 19, 2022 we ordered the court reporter to file the reporter's record by October 28, 2022. On October 27, 2022, the court reporter notified this court that the reporter's record was not filed because appellant failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the fee for preparing the record and appellant is not entitled to appeal without paying the fee. The court reporter requested an extension until November 20, 2022 to file the record.
Appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the fees. Appellant filed an affidavit of indigence with the trial court on September 7, 2022, and the trial court entered an order under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 145 that same day. Accordingly, we ORDER the court reporter to file the reporter's record by November 7, 2022. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(c).
In the unforeseen event that the court reporter does not comply with this order, we may be required to initiate contempt proceedings.
It is so ORDERED. 1
