held beginning with the first hearing held December 2, 2014 through the final hearing on April 5,
2016. In addition to the proceedings held on April 27, 2015 and February 11, 2016 for which
records have been filed, appellant asserts that hearings were also held on the following days and
requests a reporter’s record for each hearing:
December 2, 2014, Temporary Orders Hearing

On July 27, 2016, the Court ordered court reporter Donna Kindle to file all reporter’s
records of all hearings held in this case and to provide the Court with written verification that no
reporter’s record was made for any other hearings held. Ms. Kindle filed records for the April 27,
2015 hearing and the February 11, 2016 bench trial but did not provide the Court with a written
verification that any other hearings held were not transcribed.
The Court ORDERS court reporter Donna Kindle to, within FIFTEEN DAYS of the
date of this order, provide the Court with written verification of whether the hearings listed
above occurred and whether those proceedings were recorded. We further ORDER Ms. Kindle
to file, within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order, final transcripts of any of the above-
referenced proceedings that were recorded. We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to forward a
copy of this order to Ms. Kindle and to Linda Manning, court coordinator of the 303rd Judicial
District Court of Dallas County, Texas.
