in the Interest of H.B-S., C.B-S, Children ( 2013 )

Order filed November 5, 2013. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-13-00910-CV ____________ In the Interest of O.S., H.J.B-S., C.D.B-S, Children On Appeal from the 306th District Court Galveston County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 06-CP-0026 ORDER This is an accelerated appeal from a judgment in a suit in which the termination of the parent-child relationship is at issue. The notice of appeal was filed October 11, 2013. The reporter’s record was due within 10 days after the notice of appeal was filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.1(b); 28.4(a)(1). The record has not been filed. On October 22, 2013, the official court reporter, Ron Vella, notified this court that appellant is not appealing as indigent, but he has filed to request the record or make payment arrangements for its preparation. On October 22, 2013, the clerk of this court notified appellant that we would consider and decide those issues that do not require a reporter’s record unless appellant, within 10 days of notice, provided this court with proof of payment for the record. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(c). Appellant filed no reply. Appeals in parental termination cases and child protection cases are to be brought to final disposition within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed. See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2(a). Because the reporter’s record has not been filed timely in this accelerated appeal and appellant did not respond to this court’s notice to provide proof of payment for the record, we issue the following order: We order appellant to file a brief in this appeal on or before November 25, 2013. If appellant fails to comply with this order, the court will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b). PER CURIAM 2
