In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-00260-CR
GARY DON JENNINGS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 4
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F10-71278-K
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES this appeal.
On October 9, 2013, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding whether the
hearing recorded by court reporter Akilah Welborn could be filed. We ADOPT the findings
that: (1) Akilah Welborn recorded the January 22, 2013 adjudication hearing; (2) appellant’s
counsel sent Ms. Welborn a request for that record; and (3) the notes are available and can be
transcribed. Because Ms. Welborn has not yet tendered the record to this Court, we DO NOT
ADOPT the finding that the record would be filed by December 27, 2013.
We ORDER court reporter Akilah Welborn to file, by JANUARY 21, 2014, the
reporter’s record of the January 22, 2013 adjudication hearing. Because the record is already ten
months overdue, we further ORDER that Akilah Welborn not sit as a court reporter until she has
filed the reporter’s record of the January 22, 2013 adjudication hearing.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable Dominique Collins, Presiding Judge, Criminal District Court No. 4; the Dallas
County Auditor’s Office, and to counsel for all parties.
We ORDER the Clerk to send a copy of this order, by first-class mail, to Akilah
Welborn, 6909 Westside Place, Sachse, Texas 75048.
