CAROLYN WRIGHT CHIEF JUSTICE

On Appeal from the 134th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-15-07537

ORDER

The reporter's record in this case is overdue. By postcard dated March 23, 2016, we notified the Official Court Reporter for the 134^th Judicial Court that the reporter's record was overdue and directed her to file the reporter's record within thirty days. By order dated July 1, 2016, we again notified the court reporter that the reporter's record was overdue. We ordered Official Court Reporter Vielica Dobbins to file, within fifteen days, either (1) the reporter's record; (2) written verification that no hearings were recorded; or (3) written verification appellants had not paid for or made arrangements to pay for the record. To date, the Ms. Dobbins has failed to file the record, the required verification, or otherwise correspond with the Court regarding the status of the reporter's record.

Accordingly, this Court ORDERS Court Reporter Vielica Dobbins, Official Court Reporter for the 134th Judicial District Court, to file, within TEN DAYS, either (1) the reporter's record; (2) written verification that no hearings were recorded; or (3) written verification appellants have not requested the record; or (4) written verification appellants have not paid for or made arrangements to pay for the record.

We notify appellants that if we receive verification they have not (1) requested the reporter's record; or (2) paid for or made arrangements to pay for the record, the appeal will be ordered submitted without the reporter's record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c).

We expressly CAUTION Vielica Dobbins that failure to comply with this order may result in an order that she not sit as a court reporter until she complies.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the following persons: Honorable Dale Tillery
Presiding Judge
134th Judicial District Court Vielica Dobbins
Official Court Reporter
