City of San Antonio v. 100 Century Oaks, Ltd.

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
April 6, 2018
No. 04-18-00157-CV
CITY OF SAN ANTONIO,
Appellant
v.
100 CENTURY OAKS, LTD.,
Appellee
From the 225th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2017CI17872
Honorable Cathleen M. Stryker, Judge Presiding
ORDER
This is an accelerated appeal from the trial court’s order denying appellant’s plea to the
jurisdiction. Appellant timely filed its notice of appeal on March 14, 2018. Accordingly, the
reporter’s record was due ten days later on March 26, 2018. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(b), 35.1(b).
The record has not been filed. On March 28, 2018, the court reporter filed a notification of late
record stating the record was not filed because appellant has not paid or made arrangements to
pay the reporter’s fee to prepare the record and that appellant is not entitled to the record without
paying the fee. See id. R. 34.6(b), 35.3(b).
We therefore ordered appellant to provide written proof to this court on or before April 9,
2018 that either: (1) the reporter’s fee has been paid or arrangements satisfactory to the reporter
have been made to pay the reporter’s fee; or (2) appellant is entitled to the record without
prepayment of the reporter’s fee. See id. R. 35.3(b). On April 2, 2018, appellant filed a response
to our order. In its response, appellant provided proof of payment to court reporter Maria E.
“Mary Helen” Vargas. Accordingly, we ORDER court reporter Maria E. “Mary Helen” Vargas
to file the reporter’s record in this court on or before April 16, 2018.
We order the clerk of this court to serve a copy of this order on all counsel and the court
reporter.
