TOWN OF PROSPER, Appellant v. GEOFFREY S. HARPER, Appellee
On Appeal from the 193rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-22-02888.
ORDER
ROBERT D. BURNS, III CHIEF JUSTICE.
The reporter's record in this accelerated appeal was requested on August 28, 2024 and was due to be filed by September 9, 2024. It has yet to be filed. The court reporter information sheet, sent to Official Court Reporter Vielica Dobbins on August 30, 2024, to be completed and returned within seven days, has also not been filed.
By postcard dated September 10, 2024, we notified Ms. Dobbins that the record was overdue and directed her to file it within ten days. On October 8, 2024, when it had still not been filed, we ordered Ms. Dobbins to file the record, written verification no hearings were recorded, or written verification appellant had not paid or arranged to pay for the record within ten days. We also ordered her to file the court reporter information sheet. To date, Ms. Dobbins has not complied.
This appeal cannot proceed until the issue of the reporter's record is resolved. Accordingly, we ORDER Ms. Dobbins to file the court reporter information sheet and the record or requested verification NO LATER THAN November 14, 2024. We expressly caution Ms. 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 of the Court to send a copy of this order to the Honorable Bridgett N. Whitmore, Presiding Judge of the 193rd Judicial District Court; Ms. Dobbins; and the parties.
