CHRISTOPHER CHAIREZ, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 366th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 366-81666-2022, 366-81667-2022, 366-81668-2022 366-81669-2022, 366-81670-2022, 366-81671-2022, 366-81672-2022, 366-81673-2022, 366-81674-2022, 366-81675-2022, 366-81676-2022, 366-81677-2022, 366-81678-2022, 366-81679-2022, 366-81680-2022, 366-81681-2022, 366-81682-2022, 366-81683-2022, 366-81684-2022 & 366-81685-2022
ORDER
Before the Court is appellant’s motion regarding the reporter’s record.
Although these appeals involve twenty trial court cause numbers and twenty court of appeals cause numbers, the court reporters put only one trial court cause number
and one court of appeals cause number on the first page of each volume of the
reporter’s record. Appellant asks that we enter an order (1) declaring the reporter’s
record applies to all twenty appeals; (2) requiring the court reporters to file a
separate reporter’s record in each appeal that identifies the cause number to which
it applies; or (3) order the court reporters to file a reporter’s record that bears all
twenty cause numbers on each volume. We cannot follow appellant’s the first
suggestion because the court reporter’s certification of the record in each volume
states the court reporter “do[es] hereby certify that the above and foregoing
contains a true and correct transcription of all portions of evidence and other
proceedings requested in writing by counsel for the parties to be included in this
volume of the Reporter’s Record, in the above-styled and numbered cause . . . .”
Therefore, each volume of the clerk’s record must identify the cause number or
numbers to which it applies. We also observe that Volume 8 of the reporter’s
record was filed with no reporter’s certificate or identification of the court reporter
who prepared the volume.
Accordingly, we GRANT the motion and we ORDER Ashley Boyd,
Official Court Reporter for the 366th Judicial District Court; Antoinette M. Varela,
Official Court Reporter for the 366th Judicial District Court; and Joie Rivera,
Deputy Court Reporter for the 366th Judicial District Court, to file an amended reporter’s record in which each volume of the reporter’s record identifies all the
trial court and court of appeals cause numbers to which it applies, and each volume
contains the court reporter’s certification of the volume. The amended reporter’s
record is due on or before FEBRUARY 21, 2023.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to Ashley Boyd, Official
Court Reporter for the 366th Judicial District Court; Antoinette M. Varela, Official
Court Reporter for the 366th Judicial District Court; Joie Rivera, Deputy Court
Reporter for the 366th Judicial District Court; and counsel for all parties.
