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

Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed December 5, 2013. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-13-00910-CV IN THE INTEREST OF H.B-S. and C.B-S, CHILDREN On Appeal from the 306th District Court Galveston County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 06-CP-0026 MEMORANDUM OPINION This is an appeal from an order terminating appellant’s parental rights signed September 26, 2013. See Tex. R. App. P. 28.4(a)(2)(A). The notice of appeal was filed October 11, 2013. The appellate record was due within ten days after the notice of appeal was filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 28.4(a)(1); 35.1(b). The clerk’s record was filed October 21, 2013, but the reporter’s record has not been filed. On October 22, 2013, the official court reporter, Ronald F. Vella, notified this court that appellant had not requested or paid for preparation of the reporter’s record. See Tex. R. App. P. 34.6(b)(1). The record does not reflect that appellant has established indigence or is presumed to be indigent. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1(a). Therefore, 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 provided this court with proof of payment for the record by November 1, 2013. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(c). Appellant filed no response to this court’s notice. On November 5, 2013, this court ordered appellant to file his brief on or before November 25, 2013, or we would dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b). Appellant did not file a brief, request for an extension of time to file the brief, or any other response to this court’s order. Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Boyce, Christopher, and Brown. 2
