ORDER

This accelerated appeal involves the termination of appellant’s parental rights. The reporter’s record is overdue and appellant has filed a Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(a). By letter dated March 12, 2020, Destiny Moses, Official Court Reporter for the 416th Judicial District Court, notified the Court that she has filed a contest to appellant’s Statement of Inability and that it is set for hearing in the trial court on March 26th. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(f)(3),(5).

Because this appeal involves the termination of parental rights and must be disposed of within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal was filed, we ORDER

Ms. Moses to file the reporter’s record on or before March 30, 2020. See TEX. R. APP. P. 2; TEX. R. JUD. ADMIN. 6.2(a). The trial court may conduct the hearing on the contest as scheduled.

We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this order to the Honorable Andrea Thompson, Presiding Judge of the 416th Judicial District Court; Ms. Moses; and all parties.
