JASON ALEXANDER SMITH, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 240th District Court Fort Bend County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 06-DCR-044730A

ORDER

The reporter’s record in this case was due November 22, 2012. See Tex. R.

App. P. 35.1. On November 28, 2012, this court ordered the court reporters to file the record on or before December 28, 2012. To date, the record has not been filed with the court. Because the reporter’s record was not filed within the time prescribed in the first order, the court GRANTS your request and issues the following order.

We order Elizabeth Wittu, the official court reporter, to file the record in this appeal on or before January 28, 2013. 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 Elizabeth Wittu does not timely file the record as ordered, the Court may issue an order directing the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine the reason for the failure to file the record.
