AVERY B. SMITH, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 208th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1679216
Panel Consists of Justices Jewell, Bourliot, and Zimmerer.
ORDER
PER CURIAM
The reporter's record in this case was due May 13, 2024. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.1. On July 15, 2024, this court granted the court reporter's third request to extend time to file the record until August 12, 2024. On August 29, 2024, we issued an order to court reporters Charyna Lashley and Mary Kai Brandenburg to file the record by September 9, 2024. On September 9, 2024, we granted Mary Kai Brandenburg's request to extend time to file the record until September 12, 2024 with the notation that no further extensions would be granted absent exceptional circumstances.
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 previous request, we issue the following order. We order Charyna Lashley and Mary Kai Brandenburg, the court reporters, to file the record in this appeal within 10 days of the date of this order. No further extension will be entertained absent exceptional circumstances. 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 the records are not timely filed as ordered, we will issue an order directing the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine the reason for the failure to file the record.
