PER CURIAM

This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to the appeal of Lola Garcia and Willie Thompson, Jr. The subject of this proceeding is Sarah D. Loucks, court reporter for the 274th Judicial District of Caldwell County.

The reporter's record was originally due to be filed on or about September 27, 2001. Upon Ms. Loucks's request, the time for filing the reporter's record was extended to November 26, 2001. On November 30, acting on another request by Ms. Loucks, this Court extended the time for filing the reporter's record to December 31, 2001, and notified Ms. Loucks that no further extensions would be granted. Ms. Loucks has not filed the reporter's record and the substitute court reporter in this cause has notified this Court that she has completed her portion of the record but is unable to file it because Ms. Loucks has not yet completed the remainder of the record.

Sarah D. Loucks is hereby ordered to appear in person before this Court on the 24th day of January, at 8:30 a.m., in the courtroom of this Court, located in the Price Daniel, Sr. Building, 209 West 14th Street, City of Austin, Travis County, Texas, then and there to show cause why she should not be held in contempt for her failure to obey the November 30 order of this Court, and sanctions imposed. This order to show cause will be withdrawn and Ms. Loucks will be relieved of her obligation to appear before this Court as above ordered if the Clerk of this Court receives the statement of facts by 5:00 p.m. on January 22, 2002.

It is so ordered January 14, 2002.

Before Chief Justice Aboussie, Justices Yeakel and Patterson
