ERIC DEMOND DOUGLAS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 174th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1122749

ORDER

This is an out-of-time appeal granted by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. The reporter’s record in this case was due March 01, 2013. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.1. On May 06, 2013, B.J. Orsack filed 3 volumes of reporter’s record and advised the court that Wong Lee, a substitute court reporter, reported the plea proceedings on July 11, 2008. On May 30, 2013, this court ordered Wong Lee to file the record within 30 days. The record has not been filed with the court. Because the reporter’s record has not been filed timely, we issue the following order.

We order Wong Lee, the substitute court reporter, to file the record in this appeal within 30 days of the date of this order. No further extension will be entertained absent exceptional circumstances. The trial and appellate courts are jointly responsible for ensuring that the appellate record is timely filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(c). If Wong Lee does not timely file the record as ordered, we will issue an order directing the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine the reason for the failure to file the record.
