CITY NATIONAL BANK OF KILGORE and GREGORY RICE

Before BOYD, C.J., QUINN and REAVIS, JJ

James L. Dunn, III, D.D.S., and Diane Gay Dunn appeal from a judgment signed on September 20, 2001. A timely motion for new trial was filed on October 19, 2001,followed by a notice of appeal on December 17, 2001. Given these circumstances, the appellate record was due on January 18, 2002. See Tex. R. App. Proc. 26.1(a) & 35.1(a). Though the clerk's record has been received, that of the court reporter has not. Instead, we granted the court reporter an extension and extended her deadline to February 18, 2002. Before us is another request for an extension by the court reporter. The latter asks for an additional 30 days to complete and file her record. We grant same.

Accordingly, we order Jerrie Brown, the official court reporter for the 172nd Judicial District of Jefferson County, to transcribe and file with the clerk of this court a reporter's record encompassing the trial had in cause number E-160,678, styled James L. Dunn, III, D.D.S., and Diane Gay Dunn v. Bank-Tec South a/k/a SDL of Texas, Inc., Gregory Rice, City National Bank of Kilgore, and Skilcraft Security Equipment Corporation and complying with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Said transcription shall include all argument, evidence, and exhibits presented to the trial court during trial as well as any pre-trial and post-trial hearings conducted in the cause. We further order Jerrie Brown to file the complete reporter's record in a manner which will assure its actual receipt by the clerk of this court on or before 5:00 p.m. on March 20, 2002. No further motions for extension from the court reporter will be entertained.

Lastly, the failure of the court reporter to abide by the deadline established herein may result in 1) contempt proceedings, 2) a complaint to the official body governing the acts of certified court reporters, 3) appropriate sanction, or 4) abatement and remand to the trial court for appropriate action.

It is so ordered.
