                                            ORDER
       The reporter’s record in this case was due March 8, 2012, 2012. See Tex. R. App. P.
35.1. On March 14, 2012, this court ordered the court reporter to file the record within 15 days.
The record has not been filed with the court. Because the reporter’s record has not been filed
timely, we issue the following order.

       We order the official court reporter of the 80th District Court, to file the record in this
appeal within 30 days of the date of this order. No further extension will be entertained absent
exceptional circumstances. The trial and appellate courts are jointly responsible for ensuring that
the appellate record is timely filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(c). If does not timely file the
record as ordered, we will issue an order directing the trial court to conduct a hearing to
determine the reason for the failure to file the record.
