In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-15-00163-CR
JOSE ANTONIO PEREZ, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-71985-U
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On July 10, 2015, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why the
reporter’s record has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to
pursue the appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and is represented by court-appointed counsel Niles
Illich; (3) Cheryl Dixon is the court reporter who recorded the proceedings; (4) Ms. Dixon’s
explanation for the delay in filing the record is her workload; and (5) Ms. Dixon indicated she
would file the reporter’s record by July 31, 2015. We note that Ms. Dixon did not file the
reporter’s record by July 31, 2015.
We ORDER Cheryl Dixon, official court reporter of the 291st Judicial District Court, to
file the reporter’s record within FIVE DAYS of the date of this order. Because the record is
already nearly four months overdue, no further extensions will be granted. If the record is not
filed within the time specified, the Court will utilize the available remedies, which may including
ordering that Cheryl Dixon not sit as a court reporter until she files the record in this appeal.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Stephanie Mitchell,
Presiding Judge, 291st Judicial District Court; Cheryl Dixon, official court reporter, 291st
Judicial District Court; and to counsel for all parties.
