JERRY LEE WATKINS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 5 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F22-55647-L
ORDER
NANCY KENNEDY, JUSTICE
We REINSTATE this appeal.
The reporter's record is overdue. The record was originally due December 2, 2023. On December 4, 2023, we directed Official Court Reporter Victoria Franklin to file the reporter's record within thirty days. On December 6, 2023, Ms. Franklin notified this Court that she reported "the admonition and the pretrial" and that Deputy Official Court Reporter Latoya Young reported the trial. Ms. Franklin stated she would complete her portion of the proceeding by the end of that week and forward them to Ms. Young for inclusion in the reporter's record. Ms. Young has not communicated with this Court concerning this appeal, and the reporter's record has not been filed.
We ORDER Latoya Young and Victoria Franklin to file the complete reporter's record for this appeal on or before FEBRUARY 22, 2024. We caution Ms. Young and Ms. Franklin that the failure to do so will result in the Court utilizing whatever remedies it has available, which may include ordering that Ms. Young and Ms. Franklin not sit as a court reporters until the complete reporter's record in this appeal is filed.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Carter Thompson, Presiding Judge, Criminal District Court No. 5, Dallas County; Victoria Franklin, Official Court Reporter, Criminal District Court No. 5; Latoya Young, Deputy Official Court Reporter, Criminal District Court No. 5; and counsel for all parties.
