                  Re:        Cause No. 2012-62792; Truong v. Nguyen.; In the 80th Judicial District Court of Harris
                             County, Texas, Texas First Court of Appeals No. 01-15-00082-CV.

          Dear Ms. Tucker:

                        Plaintiff Vicky Truong filed a notice of appeal to the First Court of Appeals, (1st Court of
          Appeals Cause No. 01-15-00082-CV), from the Trial Court's Final Judgment, signed on October 24,
          2014. Plaintiff requested by letter of January 16, 2015, copy attached hereto as Exhibit 1, that you
          prepare and file with the First Court of Appeals a full record of all recorded proceedings in the case
          that you reported. This included all pre-trial and post-trial hearings, all trial proceedings and all
          exhibits from the trial of this case, which occurred on October 7th, 2014.

                  We also inquired if you were in need of a deposit for the record that you may have
          transcribed. We have been in touch telephonically, by e-mail and in person several times since that
          date. While you have not asked for a deposit or given us a dollar amount, you assured our office that
          a transcript would be prepared for the appeal. On February 25, 2015, the Court of Appeals sent a
          late record letter to you. That letter is attached as Exhibit 2 hereto.

                        When the March 27, 2015 court reporter deadline passed, the Firm was assured that a letter
          would be sent by you to the Court of Appeals explaining why the court reporter record was not yet
          prepared. As a month has now passed, I am sending you this letter to find out the status of the record
          preparation in this ease.

                  Please contact me at 713-869-1155 or on my cell phone at 832-627-8794

                                                                             Very truly yours,

           62792

    Style: VickyTroung v. Huong Nguyen

   Dear Reporter:

           The reporter's record was due to be filed February 23, 2015, but it has not been received
   for filing. See TEX. R. App. P. 35.1. Please file the reporter's record within 30 days of the date
   of this notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(a)(1).

           Or, you may use the information sheet on the Forms page of the Court's website,
   htrp://www.txcourts.gov/lstcoa, to notify my office that: (1) proceedings were not recorded; (2)
   no party has requested a reporter's record; (3) the party responsible for paying for preparation of
   the reporter's record has not paid the reporter's fee or has not made satisfactory arrangements to
   paythe fee and, is not entitled to appeal without paying thefee, i.e., the party is not indigent. See
   TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3 (b).

           If either the reporter's record or a request for an extension of time is not filed by the due
   date, this matter will be referred to the Court so it can make whatever order is appropriate to
   avoid further delay and to preserve the parties' rights. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(a)(1).

                                                         Sincerely,

                                                                                     r
