Tairon Jose Monjaras v. The State of Texas
ORDER Trial court case number: 1614762 Trial court: 232nd District Court of Harris County
Appellant's appointed counsel has filed a "Motion for a Complete Record" complaining that, although the court reporter has filed a reporter's record regarding the denial of appellant's motion to suppress, the court reporter has not filed a reporter's record regarding appellant's guilty plea in the underlying case. Counsel requests that we compel the trial court reporter to file a reporter's record regarding appellant's guilty plea.
The motion is DENIED. First, the record demonstrates that this is a plea bargain case and the appeal is limited to the denial of appellant's pre-trial motion to suppress, for which a reporter's record has been filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Second, counsel states that she emailed the court reporter on October 22, 2019 but fails to demonstrate any additional attempts to contact the reporter or to seek relief from the trial court. Finally, although counsel appears to assume that the reporter recorded the plea hearing, the clerk's record demonstrates that appellant waived his right to have a court reporter record his plea.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Gordon Goodman
