IN THE ESTATE OF SHIRLEY ANN HOCKENBERRY, DECEASED
On Appeal from Probate Court No. 3 Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 403,174-401
ORDER
This is an appeal from orders signed October 7, 2016, June 19, 2017, and September 12, 2017. The notice of appeal was filed in the trial court on December 11, 2017, but not provided to this court until February 22, 2018.
On February 22, 2018, we sent a letter to the parties that, among other things, instructed appellant to file a docketing statement. The docketing statement includes a section in which appellant may indicate whether there is a reporter's record in the appeal. Appellant has not filed a docketing statement.
On February 23, 2018, the court reporter notified this court that there is a reporter's record but appellant had not paid or made arrangements to pay for the record. We notified the parties the same day that unless appellant provided this court, within 15 days, proof it had paid or made arrangements to pay the court reporter for preparing the record, we might consider and decide those issues or points that do not require a reporter's record. See Tex. App. P.37.3(c). No response was received.
The clerk's record was filed May 7, 2018, and indicates the orders at issue in this appeal are summary judgments and dismissals. We do not know whether appellant intends for the court reporter to prepare the record but has not paid or made arrangements to pay for the record or if appellant has elected not to request the reporter's record due to the nature of the appeal.
No matter the reason for the reporter's record not being filed, we assume the appellate record is complete. Accordingly, appellant's brief is due by June 11, 2018. See Tex. R. App. P. 36.8(a)(1).
