FROM THE 426TH DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY NO. 321701, THE HONORABLE JACK WELDON JONES, JUDGE PRESIDING
Before Chief Justice Byrne, Justices Smith and Theofanis
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
PER CURIAM
This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to the appeal of Keith Gregory Moraw. The subject of this proceeding is Virginia Bunting, court reporter at Bell County.
Appellant filed his notice of appeal on May 15, 2023. The reporter's record was due in this Court on August 4, 2023. After providing Ms. Bunting several extensions to file the reporter's record, on November 21, 2023 we ordered counsel to file the reporter's record no later than November 30, 2023. To date, the reporter's record has not been filed.
Therefore, it is hereby ordered that Ms. Bunting shall appear in person before this Court on February 21, 2024 at 9:00a.m. in the Third Court of Appeals courtroom, located on the first floor of the Price Daniel, Sr. Building, 209 West 14th Street, in Austin, Travis County, Texas, to show cause why she should not be held in contempt and have sanctions imposed for her failure to obey our November 21, 2023 order. This order to show cause will be withdrawn and Ms. Bunting will be relieved of her obligation to appear before this Court as ordered above if the Clerk of this Court receives the reporter's record on or before February 20, 2024, at 12:00p.m.
It is ordered on February 9, 2024.
