NORMAN ANDREW PUCKETT, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 180th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1374245

ORDER

The reporter’s record in this case was due June 9, 2014. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.1. The official court reporter, Kathleen O’Connor Powers, filed 8 volumes of the record on May 27, 2014. On June 12, 2014, this court granted an extension of time to a substitute reporter, Patricia Palmer, to file the remaining volume of the record by July 9, 2014. On July 8, 2014, we granted a second extension of time to file the remaining volume until August 8, 2014, noting that no further extensions would be granted absent exceptional circumstances. The remaining record has not been filed with the court. On August 18, 2014, the reporter filed a third request for an extension, stating the additional record is only 100 pages. Because the complete reporter’s record has not been filed timely, we DENY the request and issue the following order.

We order Patricia Palmer, the substitute court reporter, to file the record in this appeal within twenty 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 Patricia Palmer 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.
