Brian A. Williams v. Devina Finn
ORDER Trial court case number: 2008-56659 Trial court: 257th District Court of Harris County
On June 2, 2017, appellant, Brian A. Williams, through counsel, filed a notice of appeal from the arbitration award in suit to modify parent-child relationship and motion for sanctions, signed on March 6, 2017, after timely requesting findings of fact and conclusions of law and moving for a new trial. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(a)(1), (4). Although the clerk's record was filed on July 6, 2017, no reporter's record has been filed due to lack of request and payment by appellant. On July 6, 2017, the Clerk of this Court notified Janice L. Berg and Robert S. Clark, Sr., counsel for appellant, that if they failed to provide evidence of request and payment for the reporter's record by August 7, 2017, this Court may set the briefing schedule without the reporter's record. See id. 37.3(c). Neither a timely response nor the reporter's record has been filed in this Court.
Accordingly, this Court will consider and decide this appeal on those issues or points that do not require a reporter's record for a decision. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c)(1), (2). Appellant's brief is ORDERED to be filed no later than 30 days from the date of this order. See id. 38.6(a). Appellee's brief, if any, is ORDERED to be filed no later than 30 days from the filing of appellant's brief. See id. 38.6(b).
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Laura Carter Higley
