NUMBER 13-17-00152-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI C EDINBURG
MIGUEL GONZALEZ MEJIA, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 430th District Court
of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER OF ABATEMENT
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Contreras and Benavides
Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on appellant’s motion to supplement the record and
to stay due date for appellant’s brief. The reporter’s record in this cause was filed on
November 13, 2017. Appellant has advised this Court that the record does not contain
proceedings held on the afternoon of January 23, 2017, or the entire days of January 24,
2017, February 4, 2017, and February 2, 2017. Because a complete reporter’s record
has not been filed, appellant requests that the due date for appellant’s brief be suspended
until a complete record has been filed with the 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, appellant’s motion to supplement the reporter’s record is
GRANTED and the appeal is ABATED. Appellant’s motion to suspend briefing is
GRANTED.
The court reporter of the 430th District Court of Hidalgo County is directed to
prepare a supplemental reporter’s record to include proceedings held on the afternoon of
January 23, 2017, and the entire days of January 24, 2017, February 4, 2017, and
February 2, 2017. The supplemental record shall be filed with this Court within 30 days
from the date of this order.
This 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
Do not publish.
Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
