From the 218th Judicial District Court, Karnes County, Texas Trial Court No. 16-03-00066-CVK Honorable Lynn Ellison, Judge Presiding

ORDER

A copy of appellant’s notice of appeal was filed in this court on December 2, 2022. In accordance with section 51.017(a) of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, a notice of appeal must be served on each court reporter responsible for preparing the reporter’s record. TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.017(a).

The clerk of the court notified the appellant in writing that the certificate of service attached to the notice of appeal filed in this appeal does not certify that any court reporter was served. The clerk instructed the appellant to file an amended notice of appeal certifying proper service on the responsible court reporter(s). An amended notice of appeal has not been filed.

It is therefore ORDERED that counsel for appellants, John R. Chiles IV and Ronald Wilson, file an amended notice of appeal in compliance with section 51.017(a) within ten days from the date of this order. If appellant fails to file an amended notice of appeal within the time provided, an order may be issued directing John R. Chiles IV and Ronald Wilson to appear and show cause why they should not be held in contempt for failing to file the amended notice of appeal.

District clerk Angelica Reyes filed a notification of late record on January 19, 2022. On February 11, 2022, Angelica Reyes filed the clerk’s record. Accordingly, we deem the clerk’s record as timely filed.

Court reporter Julie Verastegui filed a notification of late reporter on January 7, 2022.

On January 31, 2022, Julie Verastegui filed the reporter’s record. Accordingly, we deem her portion of the reporter’s record as timely filed.

Our records indicate that Liche Cavazos is also listed as a court reporter in this case. The reporter’s record was due on January 10, 2022. We therefore ORDER Liche Cavazos to file her portion of the reporter’s record within 30 days. If Liche is not responsible for any portion of the record, we ORDER her to file a letter indicating so within 10 days.
