FLASHDANCER, INC., Appellant
V.
JOHN FULCHER III, Appellee
On Appeal from the 193rd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-11379
ORDER
The reporter’s record in this appeal is past due. By postcard dated April 20,
2021, we notified the Vielica Dobbins, Official Court Reporter for the 193rd
Judicial District Court, that the reporter’s record was overdue and directed her to
file the reporter’s record within thirty days. After Ms. Dobbins responded that the
reporter’s record had not been filed because the record had not been requested nor
payment arrangements made, we notified appellant. On April 30, 2021, appellant
responded that it had attempted to obtain information regarding the cost of the
record, and it was ready to pay for the record. By order dated May 5, 2021, we
again notified Ms. Dobbins that the reporter’s record was overdue, directed her to
the January 15, 2021 request for the reporter’s record contained in the clerk’s
record, and ordered her to file the reporter’s record within thirty days.
To date, the reporter’s record has not been filed and Ms. Dobbins has not
otherwise communicated with the Court regarding the reporter’s record.
Accordingly, we ORDER Vielica Dobbins to file, within TWENTY DAYS
of the date of this order, either (1) the reporter’s record; or (2) written verification
that appellant has been notified of the cost of the record and has not yet paid for or
made arrangements to pay for the reporter’s record. We notify appellant that if we
receive verification it has been notified of the cost for the reporter’s record and
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).
We expressly CAUTION Ms. Dobbins that failure to comply with this order
WILL result in the Court taking such action as is necessary to have Ms. Dobbins
comply with the Court’s orders, including an order that she not sit as a court
reporter until she complies.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to:
Honorable Bridgett N. Whitmore
Presiding Judge
134th Judicial District Court
