In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-21-00963-CV
IN THE MATTER OF D.J., A JUVENILE
On Appeal from the 305th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. JD-20-00931-X
ORDER
The reporter’s record in this appeal, or written verification no hearings were
recorded, has not been filed despite three directives that it be filed. Our first
directive set December 4, 2021 as the deadline; our second and third directives set
January 4 and February 2, 2022, respectively, as the deadlines. A voice message to
the reporter, Pamela Sumler, concerning the status of the record has not been
returned, and she has not otherwise communicated with the Court.
Because this appeal cannot proceed without the reporter’s record or
requested verification, and the reporter has had more than sixty days to respond
and communicate with the Court, we ORDER Ms. Sumler, Official Court
Reporter for the 305th Judicial District Court, to file the record or requested
verification no later than February 24, 2022. As appellant is represented by
appointed counsel, any record shall be filed without payment of costs.
We caution Ms. Sumler that failure to comply may result in an order that she
not sit as a reporter until the record is filed.
We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of this order to the
Honorable Cheryl Lee Shannon, Presiding Judge of the 305th Judicial District
Court; Ms. Sumler; and, the parties.
