this policy. No corrective action warranted.

brief hes been filed but the court reporter hes still not filed

     This lettar is a demand prior to mandamua that you order
your court reporter to file the reporter's record of the venue
transfer hearing of February 6, 2013, with the Twelfth Court of
Appeals.

                                              Very truly yours,
