Allen Dale Edwards. v. The State of Texas
Trial court: 208th District Court of Harris County Trial court case number: 1503258
ORDER
AMPARO MONIQUE GUERRA JUDGE
The appellate record in this appeal was originally due on January 2, 2024. On January 3, 2024, the court reporter for the 208th District Court of Harris County filed a request for extension of the deadline to file the reporter's record. The Court granted the request, extending the deadline to file the reporter's record to February 2, 2024. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(c) (appellate court may extend deadline for filing record on request by reporter, with any extension not exceeding thirty days).
On February 2, 2024, the court reporter filed a second request for extension of the deadline to file the reporter's record. The second request for extension was granted by the Court, extending the deadline for filing the reporter's record to March 4, 2024.
On March 4, 2024, the court reporter filed a third request for extension of time to file the reporter's record, requesting the deadline be extended to April 4, 2024. The court reporter's request for an extension states that she needs additional time to complete the record, which covers eight days of testimony, amounting to approximately 1,200 pages.
The court reporter's third request for an extension is granted. The reporter's record is due no later than April 3, 2024. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(c) (appellate court may extend deadline for filing record on request by reporter, with any extension not exceeding thirty days). Additionally, the court reporter is notified that no further extensions will be granted absent extraordinary circumstances, and the failure to file the reporter's record by April 3, 2024 may result in the appeal being abated and remanded to the trial court for a hearing to determine the reason for the failure to timely file the reporter's record. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(c) (requiring courts to ensure that appellate record is timely filed).
It is so ORDERED.
