Letter to Clerk Regarding Clerk’s and Reporter’s Records Velva L. Price Travis County District Clerk Attn: Appeals Section 1000 Guadalupe Street, Room 302 Austin, TX 78701

cc: Christopher A. Prine, Clerk of the Court, 15th Court of Appeals

Re: Request for Clerk’s and Reporter’s Records — Cause No. D-1-

GN-25-000719, Robert Edward Battaile v. State of Texas, et al. (Appeal No.

03-25-00484-CV, 3rd Court of Appeals; transferred to Appeal No.

15-25-00142-CV, 15th Court of Appeals)

Dear Ms. Price and Mr. Prine:

I respectfully submit this request regarding the appellate records in the above- referenced matter:

1 Clerk’s Record – Complete Copy Requested

I request a full copy of the Clerk’s Record as transmitted in this appeal.

Electronic copies or a link to the full files is acceptable. I am especially

concerned about the transition period after judgment in the 459th District

Court, through the 3rd Court of Appeals, and before the case was formally

docketed in the 15th Court of Appeals. Please ensure that all motions and

filings made during this transfer period are included or noted and soon

supplemented.

2 Reporter’s Record – July 3, 2025 Hearing (Judge Martha Hill Jamison)

I was not noticed and did not appear. Apparently, no record exists. Thus, I

specifically request the Reporter’s Record Status Report or equivalent

certification explaining why the proceeding was not recorded; and whatever

minimal record exists of the hearing.

3 Reporter’s Records Already Compiled – Request for Access

Per my conversation with Mr. Prine, the Reporter’s Record has already been

filed in a five-volume set, including an index and four hearings. Mr. Prine, I

respectfully request the link or access instructions for those volumes so that I may review the transcripts already in the appellate record.

I am filing this correspondence both with the Travis County District Clerk and with

the 15th Court of Appeals to ensure the appellate court is aware of these concerns

and may confirm receipt of a complete and accurate record.

Thank you for your assistance.

Respectfully,

_____/s/ Robert Edward Battaile_________ Robert Edward Battaile, Appellant / Pro Se

Certificate of Service

I hereby certify that a true and correct copy of the foregoing correspondence was

served on all counsel and parties of record on September 22, 2025, via the

eFileTexas system.
