Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas October 11, 2018 No. 04-18-00319-CV IN THE INTEREST OF N.D.S. AND I.F.S., CHILDREN, From the County Court at Law, Starr County, Texas Trial Court No. CC-16-367 Honorable Romero Molina, Judge Presiding O R D E R On July 17, 2018, the court reporter filed a letter informing the court that the reporter’s record had not been filed because appellant failed to file a designation of record. TEX. R. APP. P. 34.6(b)(1). The court reporter’s letter also stated appellant failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the fee for preparing the reporter’s record. We ordered appellant to file written proof on or before July 30, 2018 that a designation of record was filed and payment arrangements were made. We warned appellant that if the deadline was not met, her appellant’s brief would be due on or before August 18, 2018. Appellant did not file a response, and on August 3, 2018, we issued an order setting appellant’s brief due on or before August 18, 2018. Subsequently, the court reporter filed the reporter’s record on August 28, 2018, and we extended the due date for appellant’s brief. Appellant’s brief was due on or before September 28, 2018. Neither the brief nor a motion for extension of time has been filed. We, therefore, ORDER appellant to file, on or before October 22, 2018, her appellant’s brief and a written response reasonably explaining (1) her failure to timely file the brief and (2) why appellee is not significantly injured by her failure to timely file a brief. If appellant fails to file a brief and the written response by the date ordered, we will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal if appellant has failed to comply with a court order). _________________________________ Irene Rios, Justice IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 11th day of October, 2018. ___________________________________ KEITH E.
