THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F09-20518, F09-73040, F10-21198, and F10-55874
ORDER
Before the Court is the December 1, 2017 letter of Sasha S. Brooks, Official Court
Reporter for the 291st Judicial District Court. Ms. Brooks informs us that the reporter
responsible for the requested reporter’s record in this appeal is Peri Wood, “who would have
been the court reporter in 2009 for the 291st Judicial District Court.” Ms. Brooks further informs
us she emailed Ms. Wood “over a month ago” but has not received a response.
This appeal has been pending since August 2017 and cannot move forward without the
reporter’s record. Accordingly, we ORDER Ms. Wood to file the reporter’s record, as requested
by appellant in his September 7, 2017 “designation of record on appeal” filed with the trial court
clerk, no later than January 4, 2018. As appellant filed with the trial court clerk an “application
to proceed in forma pauperis” on March 8, 2017, the record shall be prepared without payment of
costs.
We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this order to the Honorable
Stephanie Mitchell, Presiding Judge of the 291st Judicial District Court; Ms. Brooks; Ms. Wood;
and the parties.
