LISA JO DYKES, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 6 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F21-75476
ORDER
AMANDA L. REICHEK, JUSTICE
Before this Court is appellant's September 13, 2024 motion to abate this appeal so that the court reporter may supplement the record and for extension of time to file her brief. In her motion, appellant points out that the reporter's record does not contain the transcripts from the hearings conducted February 13, 2023 and March 28, 2023. We DENY appellant's motion to abate this appeal, but we ORDER court reporter Marissa Garza to file, within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order, a supplemental reporter's record containing the transcripts of the two hearings.
In the event the hearings were not recorded, we ORDER Ms. Garza to file, within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order, a letter verifying that the hearings were not recorded. If another court reporter transcribed the February 13, 2023 and March 28, 2023 hearings, we ORDER Ms. Garza to notify this Court of that reporter's name within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order.
Appellant's brief is due THIRTY DAYS after Ms. Garza or another court reporter files the supplemental record or Ms. Garza files a letter verifying that the hearings were not recorded.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to Marissa Garza, official court reporter in Criminal District Court No. 6 and to counsel for all parties.
