ORDER
This appeal follows appellant’s conviction of the Class C misdemeanor offense of
contributing to her child’s truancy from school. See TEX. EDUC. CODE ANN. § 25.093(a), (c)
(West 2012). The clerk’s record has been filed, but the reporter’s record has not been filed. It is
not clear from the record whether the June 24, 2013 hearing at which appellant pleaded no
contest was recorded.
Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the court reporter of the County Court Auxiliary Court
No. 4B to file, within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order, either the reporter’s record of
the June 24, 2013 hearing or written verification that the hearing was not recorded.
We ORDER appellant, who is representing herself in the appeal, to file her brief within
SIXTY DAYS of the date of this order. If appellant’s brief is not filed within the time specified,
we will order the appeal submitted without appellant’s brief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b); Lott v.
State, 874 S.W.2d 687 (Tex. Crim. App. 1994).
