In the Interest of R.E.C. and C.A.C., Children

Summary

The Texas Court of Appeals for the Fifth District ordered the court reporter to file the reporter’s record or provide written verification that it had not been paid for or arranged. The court cautioned that, absent payment or arrangements, the appeal could be submitted without the reporter’s record under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 37.3(c).

Holdings

Questions Presented
