NUMBER 13-19-00251-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLANT,
v.
LETICIA VALDEZ, APPELLEE.
On appeal from the County Court at Law No. 4
of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER OF ABATEMENT
Before Justices Benavides, Hinojosa, and Perkes
Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on the State’s first amended motion to abate appeal
to allow the reporter’s record to be supplemented. The reporter’s record in this cause
was filed on July 8, 2019. The State’s motion advises this Court that the reporter’s record
indicates the trial court admitted and considered a video when making its ruling to
suppress, but the reporter’s record does not contain a video exhibit.
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 abate for the purpose of supplementing the
reporter’s record is GRANTED and the appeal is ABATED.
The court reporter of the County Court at Law No. 4 of Hidalgo County is directed
to prepare a supplemental reporter’s record containing the video exhibit. 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Do not publish.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).
Delivered and filed the
1st day of August, 2019.
