The reporter’s record in this appeal is overdue. By postcard dated July 6, 2017, we notified Sharron Rankin, Official Court Reporter for the 160 th Judicial District Court, that the reporter’s record was overdue and directed her to file the reporter’s record within thirty days. When the record had not been filed by August 24, 2017, we ordered Ms. Rankin to file, no later than September 8, 2017, either the record or written verification no hearings were recorded or

appellant had not requested, paid for, or made arrangements to pay for the record and had not been found entitled to proceed without payment of costs. To date, however, Ms. Rankin has not responded.

This appeal cannot proceed until the issue of the reporter’s record is resolved. Accordingly, we ORDER Ms. Rankin to file the reporter’s record or previously requested *2 written verification no later than October 4, 2017 . We expressly CAUTION Ms. Rankin that failure to comply with this order may result in an order that she not sit as a court reporter until she complies.

We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of this order to (1) the Honorable Jim Jordan, Presiding Judge of the 160 th Judicial District Court; (2) Ms. Rankin; and, (3) the parties.
