COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
$3,363.00 IN UNITED STATES CURRENCY, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 414th District Court
of McLennan County, Texas.
ORDER OF ABATEMENT
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Longoria and Hinojosa
Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on the reporter’s failure to timely file a record. The
reporter’s record in this cause was due on January 7, 2020. The Clerk of the Court sent
two late notices to the reporter, and the reporter has not filed a request for extension in
this matter.
This sequence of events requires us to effectuate our responsibility to avoid further
delay and to preserve the parties' rights. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(a)(1). Accordingly, this
appeal is ABATED and the cause REMANDED to the trial court.
In accordance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 34.6(b), the trial court is
directed to conduct a hearing or otherwise to determine: (1) if the appellant has timely
requested a reporter's record, and (2) the earliest practical date the reporter’s record may
be completed.
The trial court is directed to forward the record of the proceedings, including any
orders and findings, to this Court within sixty (60) days of the date of this order, or to notify
this Court within such period indicating a date by which the trial court can comply.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
6th day of April,2020.
