Opinion
COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS §
DALE EVAN SLAPE, § No. 08-21-00166-CV
Appellant, § Appeal from the
v. § County Court at Law No. 3
WAL-MART STORES TEXAS, LLC § of El Paso County, Texas AND WAL-MART STORE, INC., § (TC# 2020-DCV-1388) Appellees. § ORDER
The Court has received a letter from Appellant stating that certain evidence considered by
the trial court at the summary judgment stage and the motion for new trial stage was not
submitted as part of this Court's record. Specifically, Appellant alleges that a CD containing
video evidence marked as "Exhibit D" was hand-delivered to the trial court in connection with
(1) Plaintiff's Response in Opposition to Defendants' Traditional Motion for Summary Judgment
and (2) Plaintiff's Motion for New Trial. Appellant has asked for the Court's permission to
submit a CD containing the video evidence along with the Appellant's Brief.
Given that there has been no allegation that the original CD submitted to the trial court
has been lost or destroyed, see Tex.R.App.P. 34.5(e), the proper course of action at this point in
time is for the Clerk's Record to supplemented with the missing exhibit as per Tex.R.App.P. 34.5
1 (c)(1). To the extent Appellant is requesting leave to file a copy of the CD with this Court, that
request is DENIED at this time.
However, we ORDER the District Clerk to supplement the Clerk's Record to include the
CD containing Exhibit D that was attached to (1) Plaintiff's Response in Opposition to
Defendants' Traditional Motion for Summary Judgment and (2) Plaintiff's Motion for New Trial
by DECEMBER 20, 2021. If electronic submission of this material is not possible, the District
Clerk is directed to immediately contact the Clerk's Office of this Court for further
instructions. If the exhibit has been lost or destroyed, the District Clerk is directed to submit
a written response indicating such on or before DECEMBER 20, 2021. All other deadlines,
including the deadline for filing the Appellant's Brief, remain in effect.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 13th day of December, 2021.
PER CURIAM
Before Rodriguez, C.J., Palafox and Alley, JJ.
