in the Interest of J.S.A-S., a Child ( 2019 )

Order filed August 6, 2019 In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-19-00320-CV NO. 14-19-00321-CV ____________ IN THE INTEREST OF G.A.A.-G., J.S.A.-S., CHILDREN On Appeal from the 309th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 2007-20638 & 2008-39339 ORDER These are accelerated appeals from judgments in suits in which the termination of the parent-child relationship is at issue. A jury trial took place between March 14, 2013 and April 10, 2013. Clerk’s records were filed in these appeals on April 25, 2019 and April 29, 2019. Our review of the records has determined that a relevant item has been omitted from the clerk’s records. See Tex. R. App. P. 34.5(c). The records do not contain a copy of the jury charge from the 2013 trial. This case was originally tried in 2013 on the issues of termination and conservatorship; a motion for new trial was granted on conservatorship only. On August 2, 2019, the District Clerk filed a supplemental clerk’s record with this court stating that there was no jury charge because a default judgment was signed. The default judgment was signed in the conservatorship case that was resolved in 2018. The termination of appellant’s parental rights was tried to a jury in 2013. The clerk’s records filed with this court do not contain a copy of the 2013 jury charge. The Harris County District Clerk is directed to file a supplemental clerk’s record on or before August 13, 2019, containing the jury charge from the 2013 trial. If the omitted item is not part of the case file, the district clerk is directed to file a supplemental clerk’s record containing a certified statement that the omitted item is not a part of the case file.
