IN THE INTEREST OF L.J.C., a Child
From the 166th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2023PA00691 Honorable Laura Salinas, Judge Presiding
ORDER
PER CURIAM
This is an accelerated appeal of the trial court's order terminating appellant's parental rights. The disposition of this appeal is governed by the standards set forth in Rule 6.2 of the Texas Rules of Judicial Administration. Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2. Accordingly, this appeal is required to be brought to final disposition within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal was filed. Id.
The reporter's record was originally due to be filed on October 11, 2024. On November 15, 2024, Maria E. Fattahi, a court reporter responsible for preparing the record, filed a notification of late record, notifying this court that the reporter's record was not filed because appellant has not provided the reporter a designation of record. Accordingly, on November 18, 2024, we ordered that appellant provide written proof to this court by November 20, 2024, that appellant has requested Maria E. Fattahi to prepare the reporter's record, which request must designate the portions of the proceedings and the exhibits to be included. See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.6(b)(1). We further ordered, that Maria E. Fattahi must file the portion of the reporter's record for which she is responsible no later than seven days after the date appellant's written proof is filed with this court.
To date, appellant has not filed her response. It is therefore ORDERED that appellant's attorney of record, John Davis, file appellant's response to our November 18, 2024 order no later than December 4, 2024. If the response is not filed by such date, this appeal will be abated to the trial court for a hearing to determine if new appellate counsel should be appointed and to consider whether sanctions should be imposed against Mr. Davis for failing to timely file appellant's response.
It is so ORDERED.
