In the Interest of A.L.T. a/k/a A.T., child

On Appeal from the 315th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2018-04475JA

ORDER

This is an accelerated appeal from a judgment in a parental termination case. The notice of appeal was filed July 15, 2022. Appellant has established indigence or is presumed to be indigent. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1(a). The reporter’s record was due within 10 days after the notice of appeal was filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.1(b); 28.4(a)(1). The record has not been filed. No request for an extension of time has been filed.

Appeals in parental termination cases and child protection cases are to be brought to final disposition within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed. See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2(a). The trial and appellate courts are jointly responsible for ensuring that the appellate record is timely filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(c). The trial court must direct the court reporter to immediately commence the preparation of the reporter’s record and must arrange for a substitute reporter, if necessary. See Tex. R. App. P. 28.4(b)(1).

Because the reporter’s record has not been filed timely in this accelerated appeal, we order Faith Garcia, the court reporter, to file the record in this appeal on or before August 5, 2022. If Faith Garcia does not timely file the record as ordered, the court will issue an order requiring her to appear at a hearing to show cause why the record has not been timely filed and why she should not be held in contempt of court for failing to file the record as ordered. Contempt of court is punishable by a fine and/or confinement in jail.

PER CURIAM

Panel Consists of Justices Bourliot, Hassan and Wilson.
