Order entered June 24, 2019
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-19-00412-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF A.M., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 254th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-13-09918-R
ORDER
The Mother of A.M. (“Mother”) has appealed the trial court’s order appointing her
possessory conservator of her child A.M. Mother contends the trial court abused its discretion in
finding that appointing her as managing conservator would significantly impair A.M.’s physical
health and emotional development. In reviewing the trial court’s order, we must review the entire
record. In Interest of A.A.E., No. 05-18-00291-CV, 2019 WL 1552450, at *2 (Tex. App.—Dallas
Apr. 10, 2019, no pet. h.) (mem. op.). Pages 45 and 65 of the reporter’s record reflect that at the
request of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (“Department”), the trial
court took judicial notice of several documents filed with the court, including “service plans”
filed “around December of 2017,” and certain business records “filed on February the 4th.”
These documents, however, are not included in the appellate record.
(1) We ORDER the Department, within TEN DAYS of the date of this Order, to file a
designation with the trial court clerk identifying any documents (1) not already included in the
appellate record (2) from the trial court’s record (3) pertaining to A.M. (4) of which the trial
court took judicial notice;
(2) We ORDER Felicia Pitre, Dallas County District Clerk, within TEN DAYS of
receiving the Department’s designation, to file a supplemental record with this Court containing
the designated documents, see TEX. R. APP. P. 34.5(c);
(3) We further ORDER Ms. Pitre to notify this Court in writing within TWENTY
DAYS of the date of this Order if no such documents can be identified.
