Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-25-00279-CV

Lucius Lydick, Appellant

v.

Rebecca Herrera, Appellee

FROM THE 425TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY NO. 25-0015-PO425, THE HONORABLE BETSY F. LAMBETH, JUDGE PRESIDING

ORDER AND MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

Appellant Lucius Lydick has filed an unopposed motion to compel the court

reporter to deliver the reporter’s records for hearings on November 25 and December 12. Lydick

maintains that he is entitled to records of these supplemental hearings without paying the court

reporter’s fee and has not paid the fee for these records. The records have not been filed with this

Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(b)(3).

We abate this appeal and remand for the trial court to make findings of fact and

conclusions of law underlying Lydick’s request, which he appears to have made for the first time

in this Court. The trial court clerk shall file a supplemental clerk’s record containing those findings

and conclusions within thirty days from the date of this order. If the supplemental clerk’s record containing those findings is not provided to this Court by that date, we order the parties to file a

status report on that date instead.

It is so ordered on February 6, 2026.
