request for the reporter’s record; (5) Ms. Morelan had not filed the reporter’s record because

appellant had not paid for it; (5) the trial court has found appellant indigent for purposes of

obtaining the reporter’s record; (6) Ms. Morelan can file the record within thirty days of the

        We ORDER Sandra Morelan to file the complete reporter’s record by OCTOBER 30,
