IN THE INTEREST OF R.M.R., III, A MINOR CHILD
On Appeal from the 219th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 219-081D-86
ORDER
Before the Court is court reporter Janie Lindley's November 25, 2014 request for extension of time to file record. In her request, she notes appellant requested the record of a hearing held in May 2014 and the record of a hearing held in October 2014. The fee for the record of the May hearing has apparently been paid, and the record appears to be prepared and ready for filing by Indu Bailey, Official Court Reporter of the 219th Judicial District Court. The record of the October hearing was taken by Ms. Lindley, and the fee has not yet been paid. Ms. Lindley seeks a thirty-day extension of time to prepare her record and allow appellant an opportunity to pay the fee. She also inquires whether Ms. Bailey should file the record of the May 2014 hearing or wait until the record of the October 2014 hearing has been prepared.
We GRANT the extension request and ORDER Ms. Lindley, no later than January 2, 2015, to either (1) tender the record of the October 27, 2014 hearing to Ms. Bailey or (2) file with the Court written verification that appellant has not paid or made arrangements to pay for the record. We caution appellant that if we receive verification of non-payment, we will order the appeal submitted without the record of the October hearing.
We further ORDER Ms. Bailey to file the reporter's record of either the May 2014 hearing or both hearings no later than January 12, 2015. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(b).
We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of this order to Ms. Lindley, Ms. Bailey, and all counsel of record.
