On Appeal from the 303rd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-13-12693-V
ORDER
The reporter’s record in this case is overdue. By postcard dated May 26, 2016, we
notified the Official Court Reporter for the 303rd Judicial Court that the reporter’s record was
overdue and directed her to file the reporter’s record within thirty days. By order dated August
2, 2016, we again notified the court reporter that the reporter’s record was overdue. We ordered
Official Court Reporter Donna Kindle to file either (1) the reporter’s record; (2) written
verification no hearings were recorded; or (3) written verification that appellant has not paid for
or made arrangements to pay for the record within fifteen days. To date, Ms. Kindle has not
responded to the Court’s order.
Accordingly, this Court again ORDERS Court Reporter Donna Kindle to file, within TEN
DAYS of the date of this order, either (1) the reporter’s record; (2) written verification no hearings
were recorded; or (3) written verification that appellant has not paid for or made arrangements to
pay for the record. We expressly CAUTION Donna Kindle that failure to comply with this order
may result in an order that she not sit as a court reporter until she complies. We notify appellant that
if we receive verification the reporter’s record has not been requested, or that appellant has not
paid for or made arrangements to pay for the reporter’s record, we will order the appeal
submitted without the reporter’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c).
