James Stearns v. Lisa Martens and Stearns Pools and Spas, Inc.

Order filed, April 10, 2013. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-13-00094-CV ____________ JAMES STEARNS, Appellant V. LISA MARTENS AND STEARNS POOLS AND SPAS, INC., Appellee On Appeal from the 268th District Court Fort Bend County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 09-DCV-169484 ORDER The reporter’s record in this case was due March 8, 2013. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.1. On March 11, 2013, this court granted the court reporters request for extension of time to file the record until April 8, 2013. To date, the record has not been filed with the court. Because the reporter’s record was not filed within the time prescribed in the first request, the court GRANTS your second request and issues the following order. We order Mindy Hall, the official court reporter, to file the record in this appeal on or before May 8, 2013. No further extension will be entertained absent exceptional circumstances. The trial and appellate courts are jointly responsible for ensuring that the appellate record is timely filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(c). If Mindy Hall does not timely file the record as ordered, the Court may issue an order directing the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine the reason for the failure to file the record.
