                  No. 06-15-00016-CV




         IN THE INTEREST OF S.S., A CHILD




         On Appeal from the 76th District Court
                 Titus County, Texas
               Trial Court No. 37,692




      Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
                                          ORDER
        Court reporter Cresta LeFevre recorded the trial court proceedings in cause number 06-

15-00016-CV, styled In the Interest of S.S., a Child, trial court cause number 37,692 in the 76th

Judicial District Court of Titus County, Texas. The reporter’s record in this accelerated appeal

of a parental rights termination order was due on March 2, 2015. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.1(b).

LeFevre has not filed the record and has not filed a motion for extension of time in which to file

the record.

        The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure establish that “trial and appellate courts are

jointly responsible for ensuring that the appellate record is timely filed.” TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(c).

The Rules further instruct that an “appellate court may enter any order necessary to ensure the

timely filing of the appellate record.” Id. In furtherance of our responsibilities established by the

Rules, we find we must take steps to ensure that the record in this case is filed in a reasonable

amount of time.

        Therefore, we hereby order LaFevre to file the reporter’s record in cause number 06-15-

00016-CV, styled In the Interest of S.S., a Child, trial court cause number 37,692 in the 76th

Judicial District Court of Titus County, Texas

        The record is to be received by this Court no later than Monday, March 23, 2015. If the

reporter’s record is not received by March 23, we warn LeFerve that we may begin contempt

proceedings and order her to show cause why she should not be held in contempt of this Court

for failing to obey its order.




                                                 2
      IT IS SO ORDERED.
