record had not been filed due to nonpayment. On April 14, 2015, we sent a notice to Garcia
stating that, unless he filed proof by May 15, 2015, of payment arrangements for the reporter’s
record, we would consider the appeal on the briefs without the reporter’s record. TEX. R. APP. P.

See TEX. R. APP. 38.8(b)(2). On July 27, 2015, Garcia’s retained counsel filed a motion to
substitute and a motion for extension of time to file the reporter’s record. The motion to
substitute was granted on August 4, 2015 and an extension was granted until September 23, 2015
to file the reporter’s record. On October 8, 2015, the court reporter advised this Court that
Garcia had neither requested nor made payment arrangements for the reporter’s record.

       On October 22, 2015, this Court issued an order stating that unless we received notice
within 14 days of the order that payment arrangements had been made for the reporter’s record,
we would set appellant’s brief due. No response was received.

       Accordingly, we order appellant’s brief due on December 30, 2015.
