From the 341st Judicial District Court, Webb County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2015CVQ002991D3
Honorable Rebecca Ramirez Palomo, Judge Presiding
ORDER
The court reporter has filed a notice of late record stating appellant has not paid or
arranged to pay for the reporter’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(b)(3) (providing the court
reporter is not required to file a reporter’s record unless “the party responsible for paying for the
preparation of the reporter’s record has paid the reporter’s fee, or has made satisfactory
arrangements with the reporter to pay the fee, or is entitled to appeal without paying the fee.”).
We order appellant to provide written proof to this court by January 10, 2019 that (1)
the reporter’s record has been properly requested, and (2) either paid or arranged to pay the
reporter’s fee or is entitled to the record without prepayment of the reporter’s fee. See id. R. 20.1,
34.6(b)(1), 35.3(b). If appellant fails to provide such proof by the date ordered, appellant’s brief
will be due by February 11, 2019, and the court will only consider those issues or points raised
in appellant’s brief that do not require a reporter’s record for a decision. See id. R. 37.3(c).
