THOMAS BARRY, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F12-48211-U, F12-48300-U, F12-48299-U, F12-48304-U
ORDER
In his brief, appellant raises issues related to the costs assessed against him. The records, however, do not contain cost bills or other documents with itemized lists of costs assessed in the cases.
Accordingly, we ORDER the Dallas County District Clerk to file, within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order, supplemental clerk's records containing detailed itemizations of the costs assessed in the cases, including but not limited to, specific court costs, fees, and court appointed attorney fees. In accordance with Texas Code of Criminal Procedure article 103.001, the cost bills shall be signed by the officer who charged the cost or the officer who is entitled to receive payment for the cost. We further ORDER that the supplemental clerk's records include documents explaining any and all abbreviations used to designate a particular fee, cost, or court appointed attorney fee.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to Gary Fitzsimmons, Dallas County District Clerk; Dallas County District Clerk's Office, Criminal Records Division; and to counsel for all parties.
