THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 411th District Court
Polk County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 21436
________________________________________________________ _____________
ORDER
The reporter’s record, due September 21, 2015, has not been filed. Mel
Power is responsible for preparing, certifying, and timely filing the reporter’s
record. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(b). On November 9, 2015, we informed the court
reporter that the record must be filed within thirty days or the matter would be
referred for an enforcement order. The court reporter failed to file the record by the
due date.
1
It is, therefore, ORDERED that the appeal is abated and the case is
remanded to the trial court for a hearing to determine why the reporter’s record has
not been filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(a)(1). The trial court shall determine why
the court reporter did not timely file the record, and may make such orders as shall
be necessary to ensure the reporter’s record is promptly filed. See Tex. R. App. P.
35.3(c) (“The trial and appellate courts are jointly responsible for ensuring that the
appellate record is timely filed.”). A reporter’s record shall be made of the hearing
and, together with a supplemental clerk’s record containing any findings or orders
of the trial court, shall be filed with the Court of Appeals by January 11, 2016.
ORDER ENTERED December 7, 2015.
PER CURIAM
Before Kreger, Horton, and Johnson, JJ.
