       The appellate record in the above-referenced appeal was due to be filed in this CourtI by
January 20, 2012. See TEX. R. App. P 35.1 The clerk’s record has been filed. The reporter’s
record has not been filed.

        On March 7, 2012, the Court notified the court reporter, Helen Wooten, that the
reporter’s record had not been received for filing and directed that the record be filed no later
than March 27, 2012 See TEX. R. APp. P. 35.1, 37.3(a)(1). The Court directed the reporter to
notify the Court by that date if the proceedings were not recorded, if the appellant had not
requested that the reporter’s record be prepared, or if the appellant had not paid or made
satisfactory arrangements to pay the fee to prepare the record. See TEX. R. App. P 35.3(b)(2).
The reporter did not respond.

        The reporter’s record has been past due for nine months. Failure either to file the record
or to notify the Court of the status of the record has caused significant delay in the ability of this
Court to resolve the parties’ dispute and to deliver justice in the timely manner expected.
