In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-01375-CR
WILLIE JAMES PITTS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 2
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F13-61758-I
ORDER
The Court ORDERS the appellant’s brief received on May 26, 2015 filed as of the date
of this order.
The clerk’s record does not contain the trial court’s jury charge on guilt or the verdict
form. The Court notes that on October 15, 2014, the trial court ordered that the verdict
containing the jury foreman’s name and signature was not to be publicly available on the District
Clerk’s case management system. The documents, however, must be included in the record on
appeal.
Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the Dallas County District Clerk to file, within
FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order, a supplemental record containing the trial court’s
charge on guilt and the jury’s verdict. We further ORDER that the District Clerk take the
necessary precautions to file the supplemental record containing those documents in accordance
with the trial court’s October 15, 2014 order.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Don Adams,
Presiding Judge, Criminal District Court No. 2; Felicia Pitre, Dallas County District Clerk; and
to counsel for all parties.
