This case involves an appeal from a judgment signed on December 16, 2011. Appellant

provided proof of payment for preparation of the reporter’s record, proof of having made
payment arrangements for the reporter’s record, or a response showing that it was exempt from
paying for the reporter’s record by August 15, 2012, the Court might consider and decide only
those issues or points that do not require a reporter’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c).
