The reporter’s record in this termination of parental rights appeal is overdue.

We directed Ms. Grant to file the record within ten days and cautioned her that any request for an extension must be submitted in writing explaining the extraordinary reasons for the delay.

Accordingly, we ORDER Martha Grant, Official Court Reporter for the 304th Judicial District Court, to file, within TEN DAYS , either (1) the reporter’s record; or (2) written

Because this is a parental termination case, we remind both the trial court and Ms. Grant that it is the responsibility of the Court Reporter to prepare, certify, and timely file the reporter’s record and that the trial court must direct Ms. Grant to immediately commence the preparation of *2 the reporter’s record. The trial court must arrange a substitute reporter if necessary. T EX . R. A PP . P. 28.4(b)(1).

We notify appellant that if we receive verification that no request for the record has been made, the appeal will be submitted without the reporter’s record. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 37.3(c).
