TEX. R. JUD. ADMIN. 6.2. The clerk’s record was originally due May 9, 2022, but was not filed. We ORDER the district clerk to file the clerk’s record on or before May 27, 2022. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(c). In the unforeseen event that the district clerk does not comply with this order, we may be required to initiate contempt proceedings. Additionally, the reporter’s record was due May 9, 2022 but was not filed. On May 11, 2022, the court reporter filed a notification of late record, requesting an extension because she had just received the notice of appeal on May 11, 2022. Accordingly, we GRANT IN PART the court reporter’s request for an extension of time and ORDER the court reporter to file the reporter’s record in this court on or before May 31, 2022. The court reporter is reminded that strict deadlines exist with regard to disposal of appeals dealing with termination of parental rights. We further remind the court reporter that in appeals from orders terminating the appellant’s parental rights, we may not grant extensions of time to file the appellate record that exceed 30 days cumulatively.
