JOHN ASHCRAFT, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS TRUSTEE FOR THE JOHN ASHCRAFT FAMILY TRUST 2012, Appellee. On appeal from the 23rd District Court of Matagorda County, Texas. ORDER OF ABATEMENT Before Justices Garza, Perkes, and Longoria Order Per Curiam Appellant Copano NGL Services, LLC perfected an appeal from a final judgment in a condemnation proceeding brought against appellee John Ashcraft, individually and as trustee for the John Ashcraft Family Trust 2012. The trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law indicate that the trial court held a hearing on June 15, 2015, at which certain “stipulations” were made by counsel. However, no transcript of the hearing appears in the record before this Court. When a relevant item has been omitted from the reporter’s record, the appellate court may by letter direct the trial court clerk to prepare, certify, and file in the appellate court a supplemental reporter’s record containing the omitted items. See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.6(d). Accordingly, we ABATE the appeal and DIRECT the official court reporter of the 23rd District Court of Matagorda County to prepare, certify, and file with this Court a supplemental reporter’s record containing a transcript of the June 15, 2015 hearing. See id. The supplemental reporter’s record shall be filed with this Court within thirty days from the date of this order. The appeal will be reinstated upon receipt of the supplemental reporter’s record and upon further order of this Court. IT IS SO ORDERED. PER CURIAM Delivered and filed the 13th day of May, 2016. 2
