 Granted in part  Denied  Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)  Other: _____________________________________ On May 22, 2015, the trial court found appellant to be indigent for the purposes of hiring an appellate attorney and paying for the appellate records, but counsel was to be appointed at a later date. On June 8, 2015, after the notice of appeal was received by the Clerk of this Court on June 5, 2015, the Clerk sent notice to, among others, the court reporter that the record is due by July 20, 2015. Accordingly, appellant’s motion to expedite the filing of the reporter’s record is dismissed because the reporter is responsible for timely filing it by the July 20th deadline, which may be extended if the reporter makes a request to this Court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(b)(3), (c).
