NUMBER 13-20-00537-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
JOHNNY GONZALEZ, Appellant,
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 347th District Court
of Nueces County, Texas.
ORDER ABATING APPEAL
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Silva
Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court because a reporter’s record has not been timely
filed in this matter. The reporter’s record was originally due to be filed on February 1,
2021. On May 24, 2021, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant’s newly appointed
counsel that the court reporter, Sharon Rodriguez, informed the court that appellant has
failed to request the reporter’s record. To date, the reporter’s record has not been
received nor has a response from appellant’s counsel.
Accordingly, the Court abates and remands this cause to the trial court for further
proceedings. The trial court shall make appropriate findings under Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure 34.6(f) and 35.3, if necessary. Otherwise, the trial court shall
determine what steps are necessary to ensure the prompt preparation of a reporter's
record and shall enter any orders required to avoid further delay and to preserve the
parties’ rights.
The trial court shall prepare and file its findings and orders and cause them to be
included in a supplemental clerk's record which should be submitted to the Clerk of this
Court within thirty days from the date of this order.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
