                    On Appeal from the 312th District Court
                             Harris County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. 2016-30086


                                      ORDER

      This is an accelerated appeal from a judgment in a suit affecting the parent-
child relationship brought by a governmental entity.

      The notice of appeal was filed September 24, 2018. Appellant has established
indigence or is presumed to be indigent. See Tex. R. App. P. 20.1(a). The reporter’s
record was due within 10 days after the notice of appeal was filed. See Tex. R. App.
P. 35.1(b); 28.4(a)(1). The record has not been filed.

      Appeals in parental termination cases and child protection cases are to be
brought to final disposition within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed.
See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2(a). 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).
The trial court must direct the court reporter to immediately commence the
preparation of the reporter’s record and must arrange for a substitute reporter, if
necessary. See Tex. R. App. P. 28.4(b)(1).

           Because the reporter’s record has not been filed timely in this accelerated
appeal, we issue the following order:

           We order Barbara Nagji, Doug Faulin, and Kim Weidenheft, the court
reporters, to file the record in this appeal on or before October 15, 2018. If the court
reporters do not timely file the record as ordered, the court will issue an order
requiring them to appear at a hearing to show cause why the record has not been
timely filed and why they should not be held in contempt of court for failing to file
the record as ordered. Contempt of court is punishable by a fine and/or confinement
in jail.
