Also by postcard dated August 17, 2020, we notified Yolanda Atkins, Official Court Reporter for the 255th Judicial District Court, that the reporter’s record was overdue and directed her to file the reporter’s record within thirty days. To date, neither record has been filed.

Accordingly, this Court ORDERS the Dallas County District Clerk to file the clerk’s record in this case within TWENTY DAYS of the date of this order.

We also ORDER Ms. Atkins to file, within TWENTY DAYS of the date of this order, either (1) the reporter’s record; (2) written verification that no hearings were recorded; or (3) written verification that appellant has not paid for or made arrangements to pay for the reporter’s record and that appellant has not been found entitled to proceed without payment of costs. We notify appellant that if we receive verification he has not (1) requested the record, or (2) paid for or made arrangements to pay for the reporter’s record and has not been found entitled to proceed without payment of costs, we will order the appeal submitted without the reporter’s record.
