Fourth Court of Appeals
                                    San Antonio, Texas
                                           June 6, 2019

                                       No. 04-19-00347-CV

                    IN THE INTEREST OF L.J.G., S.A.M., AND A.C.F.,
                                     Appellant

                   From the 73rd Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 2018-PA-00420
                      Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding

                                          ORDER
        In this accelerated appeal of the trial court’s order terminating Appellant’s parental rights
to the children, the reporter’s record was due on May 31, 2019. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.1(b).
         On June 4, 2019, court reporter Elva G. Chapa filed a notification of late reporter’s
record. She indicated her other duties preclude her from working on the record, and she expects
to file the record by June 24, 2019.
        The reporter’s motion for extension of time to file the reporter’s record is GRANTED IN
PART. The reporter’s record is due on June 10, 2019. See id. R. 35.3(c) (limiting an extension
in an accelerated appeal to ten days).
        The child’s “need for permanence is the paramount consideration for the child’s present
and future physical and emotional needs.” See Dupree v. Tex. Dep’t of Protective & Regulatory
Servs., 907 S.W.2d 81, 87 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1995, no writ). This court must render its
decision “with the least possible delay,” and any further delays in obtaining the reporter’s record
will hinder this court in its duty. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(c); In re J.L., 163 S.W.3d 79, 82 (Tex.
2005) (quoting TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 263.405(a)).
