On May 22, 2015, the trial court found appellant to be indigent for the purposes of
hiring an appellate attorney and paying for the appellate records, but counsel was to be
appointed at a later date. On June 8, 2015, after the notice of appeal was received by
the Clerk of this Court on June 5, 2015, the Clerk sent notice to, among others, the
court reporter that the record is due by July 20, 2015. Accordingly, appellant’s motion
to expedite the filing of the reporter’s record is dismissed because the reporter is
responsible for timely filing it by the July 20th deadline, which may be extended if
the reporter makes a request to this Court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(b)(3), (c).
