IN THE INTEREST OF A.L.K., A CHILD.
Appeal from the 383rd District Court of El Paso County, Texas (TC# 2020DCM5085)
Before Alley, C.J., Palafox and Soto, J.J.
ORDER
Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.4 (a) the motion ruled on through this Order may have been decided by a single Justice sitting on the panel.
By order dated June 17, 2024, this Court granted Appellant's motion to supplement the reporter's record and ordered court reporter Jason Mestas to file the supplemental reporter's record on or before June 26, 2024. The Clerk of this Court has made multiple attempts to contact Mr. Mestas by email to inquire about the status of the supplemental reporter's record. In an email on July 3, 2024, Mr. Mestas represented to this Court that he would file the supplemental reporter's record by close of business on July 5, 2024. As of the date of this order, no supplemental reporter's record has been filed.
It is therefore ORDERED that court reporter Jason Mestas file the supplemental reporter's record in this cause no later than July 23, 2024. If the record is not filed by such date, an order will be issued directing Jason Mestas to appear before this Court in person and show cause why he should not be held in contempt for failing to file the supplemental reporter's record in violation of this Court's orders. The Clerk of this Court shall cause a copy of this order to be served on Jason Mestas by certified mail, return receipt requested, or give other personal notice of this order with proof of delivery. Because "[t]he trial and appellate courts are jointly responsible for ensuring that the appellate record is timely filed," Tex.R.App.P. 35.3(c), the Clerk of this Court is directed to serve a copy of this order on the Honorable Lyda Ness-Garcia, Judge of the 383rd Judicial District Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
