Appellees
From the 229th Judicial District Court, Jim Hogg County, Texas
Trial Court No. CC-04-143
Honorable Ana Lisa Garza, Judge Presiding
ORDER
The clerk’s record was filed April 10, 2014; however it is being returned to the District
Clerk of Jim Hogg County because it fails to comply with the Supreme Court Order Directing
the Form of the Appellate Record. In particular:
1) when more than one request for inclusion of items in the record is filed, the clerk must
prepare only one consolidated record. Here, it appears the clerk prepared a separate
volume for each request; see Supreme Court Order Directing the Form of the Appellate
Record. Rule 1.1;
2) the documents in the consolidated record must be arranged in ascending chronological
order, by date of filing or by date of occurrence, see id. Rule 1.1(d);
3) page numbering does not start on the front cover of the first volume of the clerk’s
record and continue to number all pages consecutively—including the front and back
covers, tables of contents, and certification page—until the final page of the clerk’s
record, without regard for the number of volumes in the clerk’s record, see id. Rule
1.1(e); and
4) the detailed table of contents must state the date each document was filed, see id. Rule
1.1(i).
We therefore order Zonia G. Morales, the District Clerk of Jim Hogg County, Texas, to
prepare a new clerk’s record in proper form. We order the new record filed in this court by
April 30, 2014. The clerk must provide a copy of the corrected record to any party who has
previously made a copy of the original, defective clerk’s record at the trial clerk’s expense. See
id. Rule 1.4.
