KHALON JAVON WESTBROOKS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 351st District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. 1342448 & 1342449
ORDER
The reporter's record in these cases was due August 11, 2014. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.1. This court granted the court reporter, Gayle Patterson, two extensions of time to file the record until October 11, 2014. When the second extension was granted, the court noted no further extensions would be granted absent exceptional circumstances. On October 10, 2014, the court reporter requested a third extension of time to file the record, but she did not provide any explanation. Because the reporter's record has not been filed timely, we issue the following order.
We order Gayle Patterson, the court reporter for these appeals, to file the record in this appeal on or before November 11, 2014. 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 Gayle Patterson does not timely file the record 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.
