         v.

      Terry Thorn, Sheila Smith, Mary Page and B Jeffery Doran
Dear Ms. McClenny:

         This is in response to your letter stating the Appellant's brief in the above-referenced
case was due to have been filed on December 29, 2014.

         I have notified you, Janice Staples and Misty McAdams several times that all the records
have not been received, the last, dated December 12, 2014.

         According to TRAP 38.6, The Appellant must file a brief within 30 days after the last
records were filed.

         The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure states, "The trial and appellate courts are
jointly responsible.for ensuring that the appellate record is timely filed." TRAP 37 lists the
Duties of the Appelate clerk.

       This case is about six months behind. How much longer does the appellate clerk plan to
wait before pressure is put on Misty McAdams and the trial court to get this thing on the road?

        I have paid the costs billed to me by the clerk and reporter to forward the files. If
either party says they misfigured the costs, I will have to be told the amount before I can pay it.

Very truly yours,

John R. Soard
