IN RE CEDRIC WHITEHURST
On Appeal from the 330th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-19-18502
ORDER
By order dated April 29, 2020, we noted appellant had filed written verification he had requested the reporter's record and directed court reporter Francheska Duffey to file the record no later than May 15, 2020. To date, however, Ms. Duffey has not filed the record, explaining to the Court she has not received a request from appellant.
We deem appellant's verification concerning the reporter's record as a proper request under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 34.6(b)(1) and again ORDER Ms. Duffey to file the reporter's record of the trial court proceedings. See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.6(b)(1), 35.3(b). The reporter's record shall be filed no later than June 15, 2020. Because appellant filed a statement of inability to pay costs in the trial court and nothing before the Court reflects the trial court ordered appellant to pay costs, Ms. Duffey shall file the record without payment of costs. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 145(a).
We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of this order to Ms. Duffey and the parties.
