James Lee Skinner v. The State of Texas
MEMORANDUM ORDER Trial court case number: 1315689 Trial court: 183rd District Court of Harris County
On October 22, 2015, this Court issued an order, directing the filing of a supplemental clerk's record containing the "Motion to Strike False Statements or the Motion to Disclose Informer's Identity," if in the record. If the specified motions could not be found in the record, the order directed the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine whether the parties can agree on what constitutes an accurate copy of the missing items, to reduce its findings to writing and to have a supplemental clerk's record containing those findings together with an accurate copy of the missing items, if any, filed with the clerk of this court. We ordered the filing of this record on or before November 23, 2015.
On January 13, 2016, a supplemental clerk's record was filed explaining that the missing items could not be found after checking the physical case file and DEEDS. However, it appears that no hearing was conducted to determine whether the parties can agree on what constitutes an accurate copy of the missing items.
Accordingly, we again direct the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine whether the parties can agree on what constitutes an accurate copy of the missing items. The court is directed to reduce its findings to writing and to have a supplemental clerk's record containing those findings filed with the clerk of this court, together with an accurate copy of the missing items, if any, within 30 days of the date of this order.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Rebeca Huddle
