Kenneth Leo Buholtz v. Texas Department of Transportation

Opinion

Order entered January 17, 2019

In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-01284-CV

KENNETH LEO BUHOLTZ, Appellant V.

TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 6 Collin County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 006-02337-2018

ORDER

By letter dated January 14, 2019, the court reporter informed the Court that appellant has

not requested preparation of the reporter’s record in the underlying case. In correspondence with this Court, appellant has requested the reporter’s record only from a hearing held in a special commissioner’s court on October 18, 2018 in an on-going companion case involving eminent domain. This Court’s review is generally limited to the record before the trial judge. See Perry Homes v. Cull, 258 S.W.3d 580, 596 n.89 (Tex. 2008). Because appellant has not requested the record of the hearing on appellee’s plea to the jurisdiction, the subject of this appeal, we ORDER the appeal be submitted without the reporter’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c).

On the Court’s own motion, we DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send appellant a paper copy of the clerk’s record. Appellant shall file his brief by March 4, 2019.
