WILL ROBERT CLAUD STEINMANN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
From the 13th District Court Navarro County, Texas
Trial Court No. D35282-CR
ORDER
State's Exhibits 1, 6, 7, 8, and 10 and Defendant's Exhibit 2 were not included in the reporter's record in this appeal. A notation in the exhibit volume of the reporter's record indicates these exhibits were sealed. The Court needs to examine these sealed exhibits.
Because the trial court clerk retains possession of the original exhibits after the reporter has copied the exhibits to be used in the reporter's record, see TEX. R. APP. P. 34.6(g)(1), the trial court clerk should currently be in possession of all the original exhibits. Accordingly, the trial court clerk is ordered to prepare and file with this Court, within 14 days from the date of this order, a supplemental clerk's record containing State's Exhibits 1, 6, 7, 8, and 10 and Defendant's Exhibit 2. The supplemental clerk's record should be copies of the exhibits unless the nature of the original exhibit prevents the ability to adequately present the content of the original exhibit. If, for any reason, a copy is inadequate, the Clerk is ordered to notify the Court and forward the original exhibits to the Court within the same stated time period. The exhibits, whether copies or originals, will be maintained under seal by the Court.
