Astin Chavers Clark v. The State of Texas
ORDER Trial court case number: 1296861; 1297213 Trial court: 248th District Court of Harris County
On March 23, 2015, the trial court adjudicated appellant's guilt and sentenced him to 25 years' imprisonment. On May 5, 2015, the trial court signed an order pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 34.6(g)(2), directing the trial court clerk to transport the original compact disc containing State's Exhibit 3 to the Clerk of this Court. Also on May 5, 2015, the court reporter filed the reporter's record for these cases. On May 19, 2015, the trial court clerk filed the clerk's record in these cases. Neither the clerk's record nor the reporter's record contains State's Exhibit 3.
On June 1, 2015, appellant filed a "Motion to Supplement the Record," requesting an order directing the trial court clerk to supplement the appellate record with State's Exhibit 3. Appellant has also filed a "Motion to Extend Time Within Which to File Appellate Brief," requesting an extension of 30 days from the date that State's Exhibit 3 is filed within which to file his brief.
We grant appellant's "Motion to Supplement the Record" and order the trial court clerk to file the original version of State's Exhibit 3 with the Clerk of this Court, pursuant to the trial court's May 5, 2015 order, within 10 days of the date of this order.
Because the appellate record is not yet complete, appellant's brief is not yet due. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a). Appellant's brief will be due 30 days after the trial court clerk files the compact disc containing State's Exhibit 3 with the Clerk of this Court, thereby completing the appellate record in these appeals. See id. We therefore dismiss appellant's "Motion to Extend Time Within Which to File Appellate Brief" as moot.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Chief Justice Sherry Radack
