No. 04-16-00296-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF T.M.C., ET AL CHILDREN,

From the 150th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2014PA02352 Honorable Peter Sakai, Judge Presiding

ORDER

This is an accelerated appeal of the trial court’s order terminating appellant’s parental rights. The clerk’s record has been filed. However, the reporter’s record, which was due May 19, 2016, has not yet been filed. Ms. Cindy Hyatt is the court reporter responsible for preparing, certifying, and filing the reporter’s record in this appeal.

Further, with regard to parental termination accelerated appeals, Rule 28.4(b)(2) states that while we may grant the court reporter an extension of time, “the extension or extensions granted must not exceed 30 days cumulatively, absent extraordinary circumstances.” TEX. R. APP. P. 28.4(b)(2).

Accordingly, Ms. Hyatt is hereby ORDERED to file the reporter’s record in this appeal no later than June 3, 2016.

We further ORDER the Clerk of this Court to serve a copy of this order on Ms. Hyatt by first class United States mail and by certified mail, return receipt requested. We also ORDER the Clerk of this Court to serve a copy of this order on the trial court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 28.4(b)(1); 35.3(c).
