On Appeal from the 283rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F18-00712-T

ORDER Before the Court is appellant’s October 3, 2019 motion to supplement the clerk’s record

and request for a new due date for appellant’s brief. In his motion, appellant represents he was

appellate record. Appellant also represents that the reporter’s record contains references to

pretrial proceedings that may have occurred in cause no. F18-75046-T and are not included in

the reporter’s record for this appeal. We GRANT the motion. We ORDER the Dallas County District Clerk to file, within THIRTY DAYS of the date

of this order, a supplemental clerk’s record containing all documents filed in cause no. F18-

75046-T.

We ORDER Official Court Reporter Vearneas W. Faggett to file, within THIRTY

We EXTEND the time to file appellant’s brief until SIXTY DAYS from the date of this

order.

We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to transmit a copy of this order, by electronic
