LORENZA ANDRE SAM, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 240th District Court
Fort Bend County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 10-DCR-055360A
ORDER
The reporter's record in this case was due September 30, 2013. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.1. On December 12, 2013, this court granted the court reporters request for extension of time to file the record until January 02, 2014 with no further extensions. On January 07, 2014 this court granted the court reporters second request for extension of time to file the record until February 06, 2014 with no further extensions. To date, the record has not been filed with the court. Because the reporter's record was not filed within the time prescribed in the first two extensions the court issues the following order.
We order Elizabeth Wittu, the official court reporter, to file the record in this appeal on or before May 05, 2014. No further extension will be entertained. The trial and appellate courts are jointly responsible for ensuring that the appellate record is timely filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(c). If Elizabeth Wittu does not timely file the record as ordered, the Court may issue an order directing the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine the reason for the failure to file the record.
