RE: Court of Appeals Number: 03-14-00S-S-CV
Trial Court Case Number: 253,616-C
Style: Jerry Hofrock
v. Judy Hornsby
Court of Appeals:
1have been unable to. prepare a brief for my appeal due to the fact that 1have not obtained a copy of
the trial transcript. I madethe request in writing to. Bell Ccunty twice. After long waits, 1received no
response. More than a week ago I called the Bell Ccunty Justice Center and attempted to seek cut the
court reporter Ms. Nikki Edwards. The person l'spoke with said they had no. record of her as a court
reporter .. 1left a message at another court reporter's number. The other reporter called me back a day
later and was able to give me Ms. Edwards number. r have not been able to 'speak directly with her as
yet. 1understand that the document 1originally submitted demonstrating my inability to pay for the
transcript might be the reason for this difficulty. 1regret being in this situation but do not want to. lese
my appeal when 1should never have been ruled against in the first place, if my attorney had been
competent. I am sure 1can do something tesatisfy the court reporter's need to get paid for her
services, if I can have the opportunttv to. speak with her.
Please do not dismiss my appeal and 1promise to pursue this every day until such time as I have
.. . managed to obtain a copy of the trial transcript from the court reporter and preperly complete the brief
for vour review. Thank you ..
