                            Fourth Court of Appeals
                                    San Antonio, Texas
                                         January 25, 2023

                                       No. 04-22-00564-CV

              ALLSTATE FIRE AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY,
                                  Appellant

                                                 v.

                                         Curtis BROWN,
                                            Appellee

                   From the 37th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 2018-CI-04336
                           Honorable Nicole Garza, Judge Presiding

                                          ORDER
        The reporter’s record was originally due November 17, 2022 but was not filed. On
November 29, 2022, this court notified the court reporter by letter that the reporter’s record was
late and instructed the court reporter to file the record by December 29, 2022. Because neither
the record nor a notification of late record was filed in response to this court’s letter, on January
4, 2023, we ordered the court reporter to file the record by January 17, 2023. We also cautioned
the court reporter that if he did not comply with our order, we may be required to initiate
contempt proceedings.

        As of the date of this order, neither the record nor a notification of late record has been
filed. We therefore ORDER court reporter David Laurel to file the record or a notification of
late record by February 6, 2023. If Mr. Laurel does not timely comply with this order, an order
will be issued directing him to appear before this court in person and show cause why he should
not be held in contempt for failing to file the record. The clerk of this court shall cause a copy of
this order to be served on Mr. Laurel by certified mail, return receipt requested, or give other
personal notice of this order with proof of delivery. Because “[t]he trial and appellate courts are
jointly responsible for ensuring that the appellate record is timely filed,” TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(c),
the clerk of the court is directed to serve a copy of this order on the Honorable Nicole Garza,
Judge of the 37th Judicial District Court.

                                                      _________________________________

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 25th day of January, 2023.
