                                        In The

                     Fourteenth Court of Appeals
                                    ____________

                                NO. 14-15-00904-CV

             In the Interest of B.J.C., G.J.C., and G.E.C., Children

                    On Appeal from the 314th District Court
                             Harris County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. 2009-04768J

                                      ORDER

      This is an accelerated appeal from a judgment in a suit in which the
termination of the parent-child relationship is at issue.

      The notice of appeal was filed October 23, 2015. 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). Part of the record has been filed, but the
potion for which Geneva Villanueva is responsible 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 Geneva Villanueva, the court reporter, to file the record in this
appeal on or before November 13, 2015. If Geneva Villanueva does not timely
file the record as ordered, the court may issue an order requiring the trial court to
hold a hearing to determine why the record has not been filed.
