RANDY WILLIAMS AND CHARLOTTE ROBERTSON, Appellees On Appeal from the 134th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-15-07261 ORDER The reporter’s record in this case is overdue. By postcard dated October 30, 2018, we notified Vielica Dobbins, Official Court Reporter for the 134th Judicial District Court, that the reporter’s record was overdue and directed her to file the reporter’s record within thirty days. By order dated December 18, 2018, we again notified Ms. Dobbins the reporter’s record was overdue and ordered her to file either (1) the reporter’s record; (2) written verification no hearings were recorded; or (3) written verification appellant had not requested the reporter’s record within fifteen days. To date, Ms. Dobbins has not filed the reporter’s record, filed the requested verifications, nor otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of the reporter’s record. Tina Thompson is now the official court reporter for the 134th Judicial District Court. Accordingly, we ORDER Vielica Dobbins, to file, within TWENTY DAYS of the date of this order, either (1) the reporter’s record; (2) written verification no hearings were recorded; or (3) written verification that appellant has not paid for or made arrangements to pay for the reporter’s record and has been found not entitled to proceed without payment of costs. We notify appellant that if we receive verification he has been found not entitled to proceed without payment of costs and has not paid for or made arrangements to pay for the reporter’s record, we will order the appeal submitted without the reporter’s record. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(c). We expressly CAUTION Ms. Dobbins that failure to comply with this order WILL result in the Court taking such action as is necessary to have Ms. Dobbins comply with the Court’s orders, including an order that she not sit as a court reporter until she complies. We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to: Honorable Dale Tillery Presiding Judge 134th Judicial District Court Honorable Bridgett Whitmore Presiding Judge 193rd Judicial District Court Vielica Dobbins Official Court Reporter 193rd Judicial District Court Tina Thompson Official Court Reporter 134th Judicial District Court All parties /s/ ROBERT D.
