Opinion
In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-14-00190-CR
TONYA ANN RODRIGUEZ, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 354th District Court Hunt County, Texas Trial Court No. 29,230
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ. ORDER Court reporter Julie Vrooman recorded the trial court proceedings in cause number 06-
14-00190-CR, styled Tonya Ann Rodriguez v. The State of Texas, trial court cause number
29,230 in the 354th Judicial District Court of Hunt County, Texas. The reporter’s record was
originally due in this matter November 13, 2014. This deadline was extended twice by this
Court on Vrooman’s request, resulting in the most recent due date of January 22, 2015.
Vrooman has now filed a third request seeking an additional extension of the filing deadline.
The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure establish that “trial and appellate courts are
jointly responsible for ensuring that the appellate record is timely filed.” TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(c).
The Rules further instruct that an “appellate court may enter any order necessary to ensure the
timely filing of the appellate record.” Id. In furtherance of our responsibilities established by the
Rules, we find we must take steps to ensure that the record in this case is filed in a reasonable
amount of time.
Therefore, we overrule Vrooman’s third request for an extension of the filing deadline
and hereby order her to file the reporter’s record in cause number 06-14-00190-CR, styled Tonya
Ann Rodriguez v. The State of Texas, trial court cause number 29,230 in the 354th Judicial
District Court of Hunt County, Texas, to be received by this Court no later than Friday,
February 13, 2015.
If the reporter’s record is not received by February 13, we warn Vrooman that we may
begin contempt proceedings and order her to show cause why she should not be held in contempt
of this Court for failing to obey its order.
2 IT IS SO ORDERED.
