Robert Dunlap v. Charles Trois

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
October 16, 2019
No. 04-19-00488-CV
Robert DUNLAP,
Appellant
v.
Charles TROIS,
Appellee
From the 73rd Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2019-CI-00955
Honorable Mary Lou Alvarez, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On October 8, 2019, this court notified the court reporter that the reporter’s record was
late. The next day, the court reporter filed a notification of late record, stating that the reporter’s
record was not filed because appellant failed to request the record. The court reporter also stated
that appellant failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the reporter’s fee for preparing the
record and that appellant was not entitled to appeal without paying the fee.
Rule 34.6(b) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure requires appellant to “request in
writing that the official reporter prepare the reporter’s record.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.6(b). The
request must designate the portions of the proceedings to be included as well as any exhibits. Id.
It is therefore ORDERED that appellant provide written proof by October 28, 2019 that
he has properly requested the record from the court reporter.
It is further ORDERED that appellant provide written proof by October 28, 2019 that
either (1) the reporter’s fee has been paid or arrangements have been made to pay the reporter’s
fee; or (2) appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the reporter’s fee. If appellant fails to
respond within the time provided, appellant’s brief will be due within thirty (30) days from the
date of this order, and the court will consider only those issues or points raised in appellant’s
brief that do not require a reporter’s record for a decision. See id. R. 37.3(c).
