Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-00305-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF B.T.G., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 302nd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 12-12707
ORDER
Before the Court is appellant’s August 7, 2013 motion for leave to file an amended brief.
Appellant states that he needs to amend his brief to include citations to the reporter’s record and
the reporter’s record has not yet been filed. We GRANT appellant’s motion as follows:
Appellant filed an affidavit of indigence. Gary Fitzsimmons Dallas County District
Clerk, and Francheska Duffey, Official Court Reporter of the 330th Judicial District Court of
Dallas County, Texas, filed contests to appellant’s affidavit. By order signed on April 30, 2013,
the trial court sustained the contests. Appellant timely appealed that ruling to this Court.
Although the clerk’s record in this appeal has been filed, the reporter’s record has not been filed.
In order to review the trial court’s ruling sustaining the contests, the Court needs the reporter’s
record from the April 30, 2013 hearing. Accordingly, we ORDER Francheska Duffey to file,
WITHIN TEN DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS ORDER, the reporter’s record of the April
30, 2013 hearing on the contest to appellant’s affidavit of indigence.
We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this order by electronic
transmission to Fracheska Duffey, appellant, and counsel for appellee.
