remind both Judge Brian Gary and Ms. Thomas that it is the responsibility of the Court Reporter

to prepare, certify, and timely file the reporter’s record and that Judge Gary must direct Ms.

Thomas to immediately commence the preparation of the reporter’s record. Judge Gary must

arrange a substitute reporter if necessary. TEX. R. APP. P. 28.4(b)(1).
