JOHN PAUL RANGEL, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 7 Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F13-33702-Y
ORDER
The Court has before it appellant's January 27, 2016 motion to supplement the record. Appellant tendered a supplemental brief on January 26, 2016. In the motion, appellant states that he did not have the record of the pretrial hearing on his confession at the time he filed his brief on December 29, 2015, but that he received a copy on January 5, 2016. We note that appellant did not bring the issue of an incomplete record to this Court prior to this motion to file a supplemental brief. Additionally, the reporter's record of the March 19, 2015 pretrial hearing was not filed with the reporter's record in this appeal. The docket sheet reflects that the presiding judge of the Criminal District Court No. 7 conducted the suppression hearing. Accordingly, this is the order of the Court.
We ORDER Vearneas Faggett, official court reporter of the Criminal District Court No. 7, to file, by FEBRUARY 5, 2016, the reporter's record of the March 19, 2015 hearing on appellant's motion to suppress, including all exhibits admitted into evidence.
We DENY appellant's motion to file a supplemental brief. We ORDER appellant to file, by FEBRUARY 12, 2016, an amended brief that includes all of the issues he presented in his original and supplemental briefs.
The State's amended brief will be due by March 14, 2016.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to Vearneas Faggett, official court reporter, Criminal District Court No. 7, and to counsel for all parties.
