The Court of Appeals for the First District of Texas has issued an Order of Abatement in the case of Camilla Hrdy et al. v. Second Street Properties LLC, appellate case number 01-19-00194-CV. The appellate record was originally due on April 30, 2019, with the clerk's record filed on May 20, 2019, but the complete reporter's record remains outstanding. The case involves two court reporters: Diane Robert from Dallas County, who filed her portion on June 3, 2019, and Amanda King from the Harris County court, who has not filed her portion from a two-week trial. King initially requested a 60-day extension but failed to meet the following deadlines, including a September 27, 2019 deadline set by the court after an August 28, 2019 order. The trial and appellate courts share responsibility for timely filing the appellate record. Consequently, the court has abated the appeal and remanded the case to the trial court for a hearing, which will address the following: 1. The reasons for King's failure to file her portion of the reporter's record. 2. Establish a firm deadline (no more than 20 days post-hearing) for when King must file her portion. 3. Determine if King should be held in contempt for her failure to file timely. 4. Make any other appropriate findings and recommendations. 5. Issue a written record of findings and recommendations separate from docket notations. The trial court's coordinator must set a hearing date within 30 days of the order and notify all parties. A court reporter must record this hearing, and both the hearing record and the trial court's findings must be filed with the appellate court within specified timeframes. If King submits her portion of the record within 10 days, the court may withdraw the abatement order. The appeal is currently abated and removed from the active docket until compliance with these directives is achieved. The order is signed by Judge Gordon Goodman on October 10, 2019.
