TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-10-00517-CR In re Stephanie Larsen Lynda Jeanne Mescher, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BURNET COUNTY, 33RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 36448, HONORABLE GUILFORD L. JONES III, JUDGE PRESIDING ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE PER CURIAM This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to the appeal of Lynda Jeanne Mescher. The subject of this proceeding is court reporter Stephanie Larsen, who has failed to comply with our order to file the reporter s record. This Court s clerk sent a letter to Larsen on June 29, 2011, notifying her that the reporter s record was overdue and cautioning her that the matter would be referred to us for an order if she failed to file the record by July 11, 2011. On September 8, 2011, Larsen requested a ninetyday extension, and this Court s clerk informed her that we would expect the reporter s record to be filed by November 7, 2011. On December 20, 2011, having received no record or explanation for the lack of its filing, we ordered Larsen to file the record by January 17, 2012 and cautioned her that failure to file the record by that date could require her to show cause why she should not be held in contempt of court. On January 16, 2012, Larsen informed us that the exhibit volume was incomplete and that she hoped to have this completed in the next week or two. Therefore, it is hereby ordered that Stephanie Larsen shall appear in person before this Court on Tuesday, January 31, 2012, at 10:00 a.m., in the Third Court of Appeals courtroom, located in the Price Daniel, Sr. Building, 209 West 14th Street, in Austin, Travis County, Texas, to show why she should not be held in contempt and have sanctions imposed for her failure to obey our December 20, 2011 order. This order to show cause will be withdrawn and Larsen will be relieved of her obligation to appear before us as ordered above if this Court s clerk receives the complete reporter s record by 10:00 a.m. on Monday, January 30, 2012. It is ordered on January 20, 2012. Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Puryear and Rose Do Not Publish 2
