00055-CR, styled Juan Flores-Alonzo v. The State of Texas, trial court cause number F-1260857-
I in the Criminal District Court No. 2 of Dallas County, Texas. The reporter’s record was
originally due in this matter July 7, 2014. Harris has filed neither the record nor a request for an
extension of time to file the record. Further, Harris has not responded to two voicemail messages
left by our clerk’s office.
The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure establish that “trial and appellate courts are
jointly responsible for ensuring that the appellate record is timely filed.” TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(c).
The rules further instruct that an “appellate court may enter any order necessary to ensure the
timely filing of the appellate record.” Id. In furtherance of our responsibilities established by the
Rules, we find we must take steps to ensure the filing of the record in this case.
Therefore, we hereby order Debi Harris to file the reporter’s record in cause number 06-
14-00055-CR, styled Juan Flores-Alonzo v. The State of Texas, trial court cause number F-
1260857-I in the Criminal District Court No. 2 of Dallas County, Texas, to be received by this
Court no later than Wednesday, September 10, 2014.
If the record is not received by September 10, we warn Harris that we may begin
contempt proceedings and order her to show cause why she should not be held in contempt of
this Court for failing to obey its order.
