Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-15-00520-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF Z.C.M., M.R.M., AND E.P.M., CHILDREN
On Appeal from the 301st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-13-22954
ORDER
Before the Court is the September 17, 2015 motion of court reporter Shantel Beheler for
an extension of time to file the reporter’s record. In her motion, Ms. Beheler recites the
following pertinent facts:
I received payment from Appellant yesterday, September 16, 2015, for a partial
record of two witnesses (direct examination only).
Mr. Harter, counsel for appellee, requested that his cross-examination of the
witnesses and exhibits be submitted also. I have requested that [appellant] pay for
the remaining pages to be included. According to T.R.A.P. 34.6(c), [appellant] is
responsible for the cost. He has refused and has told me to just file the direct
examination of the two witnesses.
On September 23, 2015, we received the reporter’s record. It contains the direct testimony of
two witnesses and four exhibits. The reporter’s record does not include the cross-examination
testimony of the two witnesses. We GRANT Ms. Beheler’s motion and ORDER the reporter’s
record tendered to this Court on September 23, 2015 filed as of that date. Because appellant has
refused to pay for the portions of the record requested by appellee, we ORDER the appeal
submitted on the incomplete reporter’s record.
Appellant’s brief is due MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2015.
We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this order by electronic
transmission to Ms. Beheler and all parties.
