IN THE MATTER OF GUARDIANSHIP OF DONNA JEANNE HAMMOND AND INCAPACITATED PERSON
From the 49th Judicial District Court, Zapata County, Texas
Trial Court No. 9,688
Honorable Jose A. Lopez, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On July 12, 2017, this court notified Dora Martinez Castanon that she is the trial court clerk responsible for timely filing the clerk's record in this appeal. We further notified the clerk that the clerk's record had not been filed. Dora Martinez Castanon was instructed to file either a Notification of Late Record within ten days of our letter or the record within 30 days of the letter. We received no response to our letter.
It is therefore ORDERED that Dora Martinez Castanon shall file the record in this court no later than September 15, 2017. If the record is not received by such date, a show cause order shall issue directing Dora Martinez Castanon to appear on a day certain and show cause why she should not be held in contempt for failing to file the record. The clerk of this court shall cause a copy of this order to be served on Dora Martinez Castanon by certified mail, return receipt requested, and by regular United States mail.
Because the trial and appellate courts are jointly responsible for ensuring that the appellate record is timely filed, the clerk of this court shall also cause a copy of this order to be served upon the trial court. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(c).
