IN THE INTEREST OF J.M.S., A CHILD
From the 288th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2008-CI-00346
Honorable David A. Canales, Judge Presiding
ORDER
The reporter's record in this appeal was due on October 15, 2013, but was not filed. On October 25, 2013, this court notified court reporter Louis Duran Jr. by letter that he is the reporter responsible for timely filing the reporter's record, and the record had not been filed. Our notice required Mr. Duran to file the record no later than November 25, 2013, unless appellant had failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the fee for preparing the record and is not entitled to the record without paying the fee, in which case he was required to file a notice so advising the court no later than November 4, 2013. We received no response to our letter.
We therefore order Louis Duran Jr. to file the record in this court on or before January 2, 2013. Mr. Duran is advised that if the record is not received by this date or a notice of late record is not received by this date, we may order him to appear and show cause why he should not be held in contempt.
We order the clerk of this court to serve a copy of this order on Mr. Duran by first class, certified mail, return receipt requested. 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), we further order the clerk of this court to serve a copy of this order on the trial court.
