ORDER
The appeals in Cause Nos. 11-17-00003-CR and 11-17-00091-CR have
become unduly stalled due to the failure of Joel Rodriguez, the court reporter for the
161st District Court, to prepare and file in this court the reporter’s record in each
cause. By this order, this court endeavors to set up a schedule of due dates for these
two appeals and also for the other appeals in which reporter’s records are due from
Rodriguez.
The reporter’s record in Cause No. 11-17-00003-CR was originally due on
April 10, 2017. Rodriguez has filed five requests for extensions, three of which were
granted and two of which were granted in part. We reluctantly granted Rodriguez’s
fifth request on August 14, 2017, informed Rodriguez that this court deemed the
inordinate delay to be a serious matter, and directed that the reporter’s record be filed
on or before September 11, 2017. As of today, Rodriguez has not filed the reporter’s
record.
The reporter’s record in Cause No. 11-17-00091-CR was originally due on
May 22, 2017. Rodriguez has filed four requests for extensions, one of which was
granted and three of which were granted in part. When we granted Rodriguez’s
fourth request on August 24, 2017, we directed Rodriguez to file the reporter’s
record on or before September 20, 2017, and informed him that this court expected
the record to be filed with no further requests for extension. As of today, Rodriguez
has not filed the reporter’s record.
This court directs that the following schedule be adhered to by Rodriguez for
the filing of reporter’s records that are due from him in appeals currently pending
before this court:

By this order, Joel Rodriguez is ORDERED to file the reporter’s record
in Cause No. 11-17-00003-CR on or before 5:00 p.m. on September 28, 2017,
and to file the reporter’s record in Cause No. 11-17-00091-CR on or before 5:00
p.m. on October 9, 2017. If the reporter’s records in these causes have not been
filed by the respective deadlines, Rodriguez may be required to appear in person
before the Eleventh Court of Appeals to explain the delay. Should Rodriguez fail to
obey this order, a contempt proceeding may be initiated against him.
