Opinion
In The Court of Appeals Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
No. 07-14-00314-CR
RACHEL JOHNSON, APPELLANT
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE
On Appeal from the 137th District Court Lubbock County, Texas Trial Court No. 2013-438,766, Honorable John J. "Trey" McClendon, Presiding
January 23, 2015
ABATEMENT AND REMAND Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
Appellant Rachel Johnson appeals her conviction for robbery. The clerk’s record
was filed on November 19, 2014. On that same day, the court reporter moved for an
extension of time to file the reporter’s record. The motion was granted, and the
deadline was moved from November 19, 2014 to December 19, 2014. Thereafter, the
reporter once again moved for an extension, which motion was granted. The new
deadline was set as January 20, 2015. Furthermore, the court reporter was told that failure to comply with the January 20th deadline may result in the appeal being abated.
The court reporter has now filed a third extension to file the reporter’s record.
Accordingly, we deny the request for an extension of time to file the reporter’s
record and abate the appeal and remand the cause to the 137th District Court of
Lubbock County (trial court) for further proceedings. Upon remand, the trial court shall
immediately determine, through hearing or otherwise:
when the reporter’s record can reasonably be transcribed into written form and filed in a manner that does not further delay the prosecution of this appeal or have the practical effect of depriving the appellant of her right to appeal.
The trial court shall 1) execute findings of fact and conclusions of law addressing
the foregoing issue and 2) cause to be developed a supplemental clerk’s record
containing its findings of fact and conclusions of law and all orders it may issue as a
result of its resolution of the foregoing inquiry. Additionally, the district court shall then
file the supplemental clerk’s record with the clerk of this court on or before February 5,
2015. Should further time be needed by the trial court to perform these tasks, then
same must be requested before February 5, 2015.
It is so ordered.
