                                          V.

               HOUSTON POLICE DEPARMENT, ET AL, Appellee

                    On Appeal from the 133rd District Court
                             Harris County, Texas
          Trial Court Cause No. 2010-50804, 2010-50601, and 2010-50603

                                       ORDER
      In each of these appeals, the trial court signed an order dismissing the case for
want of prosecution. The clerk's records were filed. Appellant has filed a brief in each
appeal, claiming no notice was given of the trial court’s intention to dismiss for want of
prosecution.1 See Tex. R. Civ. P. 165a.

       Our review has determined that a relevant item has been omitted from each of the
clerk's records. See Tex. R. App. P. 34.5(c). The records do not contain any notices of
the trial court’s intention to dismiss. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 165a.

       The Harris County District Clerk is directed to file a supplemental clerk’s record
in each case on or before September 28, 2012, containing the notice of the trial court’s
intention to dismiss. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 165a.

       In each case, if the omitted item is not part of the case file, the district clerk is
directed to file a supplemental clerk’s record containing a certified statement that the
omitted item is not a part of the case file.

                                     PER CURIAM
