Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas November 1, 2018 No. 04-18-00598-CV IN THE MATTER OF J.A., From the County Court, Karnes County, Texas Trial Court No. 16-05-00005 JVK Honorable Stella Saxon, Judge Presiding ORDER The reporter’s record was originally due on September 4, 2018. On September 17, 2018, the clerk of this court notified the court reporter, Staci Slayden, that she is the court reporter responsible for timely filing the reporter’s record in this appeal and that the reporter’s record is late. The clerk explained that if the reporter’s record has not been filed because (1) the appellant has failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the reporter’s fee and (2) the appellant is not entitled to appeal without paying the fee, the court reporter must file a notification of late record stating such fact within ten days. Otherwise, the court reporter must file the reporter’s record within thirty days. The court reporter did not timely file a notification of late record, nor has she filed the reporter’s record. We, therefore, ORDER Staci Slayden to file the reporter’s record no later than December 3, 2018. If the reporter’s record is not received by such date, an order may be issued directing Staci Slayden to appear and show cause why she should not be held in contempt for failing to file the record. We also ORDER the Clerk of this Court to mail a copy of this order to the trial judge, the Honorable Stella Saxon. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(c) (“The trial and appellate courts are jointly responsible for ensuring that the appellate record is timely filed.”). _________________________________ Karen Angelini, Justice IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 1st day of November, 2018. ___________________________________ KEITH E.
