Court Reporter, $80^{th}$ Civil District Court 201 Caroline, $9^{th}$ Floor Houston, Texas 77002 Re: Cause No. 2012-62792; Truong v. Nguyen; In the $80^{th}$ 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, (1 $^{st}$ 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 $7^{th}, 2014$ .

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 case.

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

Cc: Texas $1^{st}$ Court of Appeals John M. Causey, Hope & Causey, P.C. W. Scott Galevan, Hope & Causey, P.C.
