PER CURIAM

This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to Sergio Hernandez's appeal from a judgment of conviction for murder and injury to a child. The subject of this proceeding is Cathy Mata, court reporter for the 147th District Court.

The reporter's record was originally due to be filed on April 11, 2008. Although a portion of the record has been received and filed, that portion for which Cathy Mata is responsible has not been received. On July 9, 2008, Mata told the Court that her portion of the record would be filed by August 4, 2008. On August 29, 2008, having still received nothing from Mata, the Court ordered her to file the remainder of the reporter's record no later than September 26, 2008. Mata failed to file the record as ordered.

Cathy Mata is hereby ordered to appear in person before this Court on November 6, 2008, at 1:30 p.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 and sanctions imposed for her failure to obey the August 29, 2008, order of this Court. This order to show cause will be withdrawn and the said Cathy Mata will be relieved of her obligation to appear before this Court as above ordered if the clerk receives the reporter's record by the close of business on October 31, 2008.

It is ordered October 17, 2008.

Before Justices Patterson, Waldrop and Henson
