In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-17-00470-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF N.A.F., M.J.F., AND O.J.F., CHILDREN
On Appeal from the 256th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-15-01912
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Francis, and Justice Stoddart
Before the Court are appellant’s September 1, 2017 motion to reinstate and the court
reporter’s September 5, 2017 request for an extension of time to file the reporter’s record.
This appeal was dismissed on August 31, 2017, after appellant failed to comply with our
directive to provide written verification she had either paid or made arrangements to pay for the
clerk’s record or had been found entitled to proceed without payment of costs. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 37.3(b), 42.3(b). In her motion to reinstate, appellant does not mention she has paid for the
clerk’s record, but states she has paid the appellate court filing fee and the fee for the reporter’s
record. The reporter acknowledges payment in her extension request and asks for an additional
ten days to file the record.
We construe appellant’s motion as a motion for rehearing. We GRANT the motion to
the extent we REINSTATE the appeal and ORDER appellant to file, within ten days of the date
of this order, written verification she has paid the fee for preparation of the clerk’s record. We
caution appellant this appeal will be dismissed without further notice if she fails to timely
comply. See id. 37.3(b), 42.3(b).
We note the reporter’s record was filed September 12, 2017. Accordingly, we DENY the
extension request as moot.
