Narrative Opinion Summary
The Court of Appeals for the Fifth District of Texas at Dallas issued an order on August 19, 2014, regarding the appeal in the case concerning the children S.H. and G.H., originating from the 330th Judicial District Court of Dallas County (Trial Court Cause No. DF-09-17707). The court noted that the reporter’s record had not been filed due to the appellant's failure to request it or make payment arrangements. Despite previous notification to the appellant on July 17, 2014, requesting proof of request and payment or a determination of entitlement to proceed without costs, the appellant did not respond. Consequently, the court decided to submit the appeal without the reporter’s record. The appellant is required to file their brief within thirty days of the order.
