Order entered October 8, 2019
In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-19-01084-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF S.M.G., A MINOR CHILD
On Appeal from the 305th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. JC-18-00695-X
ORDER The reporter’s record in this termination of parental rights appeal is overdue. By postcard
dated September 18, 2019, we notified Court Reporter Pamela Sumler the reporter’s record was
overdue in this case. We directed Ms. Sumler to file the record within ten days and cautioned
her that any request for an extension must be submitted in writing explaining the extraordinary
reasons for the delay. To date, Ms. Sumler has not responded.
Accordingly, we ORDER Pamela Sumler, Official Court Reporter for the 305th Judicial
District Court, to file, within TEN DAYS, either (1) the reporter’s record; or (2) written
verification that appellant has not requested the record.
Because this is a parental termination case, we remind both the trial court and Ms. Sumler
that it is the responsibility of the Court Reporter to prepare, certify, and timely file the reporter’s
record and that the trial court must direct Ms. Sumler to immediately commence the preparation of the reporter’s record. The trial court must arrange a substitute reporter if necessary. TEX. R.
APP. P. 28.4(b)(1).
We notify appellant that if we receive verification that no request for the record has been
made, the appeal will be submitted without the reporter’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c).
We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to send copies of this order, by electronic
transmission, to the following persons:
Honorable Cheryl Lee Shannon Presiding Judge 305th Judicial District Court
Ms. Pamela Sumler Official Court Reporter 305th Judicial District Court
All parties
