Order entered November 21, 2017
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-17-01062-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF M.A.M., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 301st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-03-14732-T
ORDER
By order dated September 25, 2017, the Court directed the Clerk of this Court to transfer
the clerk’s and supplemental clerk’s records from a prior appeal into this appeal. Additional
clerk’s and reporter’s records necessary for this appeal were due November 6, 2017, but have not
yet been filed.
Before the Court is appellant’s November 6, 2017 motion requesting this Court to make
further orders related to the record. In the motion, appellant states the cost of the additional
clerk’s record is $2,270 and the cost of the requested reporter’s record is $5,800. Appellant
states he does not have the resources to pay these fees. Because our record does not contain a
Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs, to the extent that he asks this Court to
order the requested additional records filed without payment of the fees, we DENY the motion.
See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145.
Appellant also asserts that the transcript of the hearing held on February 21, 2017 is
incomplete. The reporter’s record of this hearing has not yet been filed. Therefore, we DENY
the motion without prejudice to filing a motion seeking to correct the reporter’s record after it
has been filed.
Appellant also asserts that, despite a timely request, the trial court has not filed findings
of fact and conclusions of law. The additional clerk’s record has not been filed containing
appellant’s request for findings of fact and conclusions of law. Therefore, we DENY the motion
without prejudice to filing a motion requesting the relief after the additional clerk’s record
containing the request is filed.
To the extent appellant requests that the Court enforce our prior rulings, we DENY the
motion. Appellant may raise these complaints in his brief on the merits.
On the Court’s own motion, we ORDER the additional clerk’s and reporter’s record filed
WITHIN FORTY-FIVE DAYS of the date of this order.
