THE STATE OF TEXAS
On Appeal from the 297th District Court

Trial Court No. 1598349D, 1598350D
ORDER
The reporter’s record was originally due January 18, 2022. On January 19,
2022, we granted the court reporter’s first requested extension and ordered that the
reporter’s record be filed by February 17, 2022. On March 1, 2022, we granted the
court reporter’s second requested extension and ordered that the record be filed by
March 21, 2022. On April 1, 2022, we granted the court reporter’s third requested
extension and ordered that the reporter’s record be filed by April 20, 2022, and noted
that NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS SHOULD BE NECESSARY.
Two weeks have elapsed since the April 20, 2022 deadline, and we have not
received the reporter’s record or any communication from the court reporter.
It is hereby ORDERED that the official court reporter, Valerie K. Allen, file
the complete reporter’s record on or before Monday, May 16, 2022, or be prepared
to show cause why she should not be held in contempt.
If Allen fails to file the record in this court by Monday, May 16, 2022, this
court will abate this appeal and remand this case to the trial court. The trial court
shall then conduct a hearing with Allen and the parties present. At the hearing, Allen
shall be prepared to show cause why she should not be held in contempt for failing to
prepare and file the reporter’s record in accordance with this order. See Tex. Gov’t
Code Ann. § 21.002.
The clerk of this court is directed to send a notice of this order to Allen via
electronic mail and by certified mail, return receipt requested; to the attorneys of
record; to the trial court clerk; and to the trial court judge.
Dated May 5, 2022.
