In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-01199-CR
PETER PHUC HONG TRAN, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 296th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 296-81478-2012
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On January 7, 2014, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why the
reporter’s record has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to
pursue the appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and is represented by court-appointed counsel; (3)
court reporter Janet Dugger’s explanation for the delay in filing the record is her workload and
family health issues; and (4) Ms. Dugger can file the record by March 10, 2014.
We ORDER Janet Dugger, official court reporter of the 296th Judicial District Court, to
file the reporter’s record by MARCH 10, 2014. The record is already more than four months
overdue from its original due date, and the appeal cannot proceed until the reporter’s record is
filed. Therefore, if the record is not filed by the date specified, the Court will order that Janet
Dugger not sit as a court reporter until the record is filed in this appeal.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable John Roach, Jr., Presiding Judge, 296th Judicial District Court; Janet Dugger, official
court reporter, 296th Judicial District Court; and to counsel for all parties.
