been lost or destroyed, and shall make appropriate findings under Tex. R. App. P. 34.6(f),
if necessary. Otherwise, the court shall determine what steps are necessary to ensure
the prompt preparation of a reporter's record and shall enter any orders required to avoid
further delay and to preserve the parties’ rights.
The trial court shall prepare and file its findings and orders and cause them to be
included in a supplemental clerk's record which should be submitted to the Clerk of this
