THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 219th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 380-80596-10
ORDER
The Court has before it appellant’s February 2, 2017 motion to abate this appeal. In the
motion, appellant states he has asked both the Collin County District Clerk and court reporter
Indu Baily to file supplemental records with various items not requested previously by former
appellate counsel. Appellant contends these items, detailed in his January 25, 2017 requests to
the district clerk and the court reporter (attached to the motion filed with this Court and on file in
the trial court), are needed in order for him to file his brief. He asks that we abate the appeal for
thirty days in order to give the Collin County District Clerk and the Court Reporter time to file
supplemental records.
We GRANT appellant’s motion to the extent that we ORDER the Collin County District
Clerk and Court Reporter Indu Bailey to file supplemental records containing the items appellant
requested on January 25, 2017 within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order. The
supplemental records should contain only those items requested but not already filed in the
September 26, 2016 clerk’s record and the October 27, 2016 reporter’s record. We ORDER
appellant’s brief filed no later than SIXTY DAYS from the date of this order.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Scott Becker, Presiding Judge,
219th Judicial District Court; Indu Bailey, court reporter, 219th Judicial District Court; Lynne
Finley, Collin County District Clerk; and counsel for all parties.
