IN THE INTEREST OF A.S., A CHILD
From the 285th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2018PA01300
Honorable Richard Garcia, Judge Presiding
ORDER
In this accelerated appeal of the trial court's order terminating Appellant's parental rights to the child, the reporter's record was due on September 30, 2019. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.1(b).
On October 2, 2019, court reporter Delcine M. Benavides 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 October 21, 2019.
The reporter's motion for extension of time to file the reporter's record is GRANTED IN PART. The reporter's record is due on October 10, 2019. 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)).
