SHELDON ROSS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 203rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F22-70066-P
ORDER
ROBERT D. BURNS, III CHIEF JUSTICE
We REINSTATE this appeal.
We abated this appeal for the trial court to hold a hearing and make findings concerning the jury charge and verdict at the punishment hearing, which were not included in the clerk's record. The trial court held the hearing on January 30, 2024.
The trial court found that the signed charge and verdict cannot be found. However, the trial court found, and the parties agreed, that an unsigned copy of the charge and verdict had been approved by the parties after the charge conference at the punishment hearing, and that copy of the charge and verdict have been filed in a supplemental clerk's record. The trial court also found that the court reporter reported the trial court's reading of the jury charge and the jury's verdict during the punishment hearing, and the court reporter's transcriptions of those portions of the record were made exhibits to the January 30, 2024 hearing.
The record is now complete. Appellant's brief is due MARCH 6, 2024.
