at law because portions of the electronically recorded trial court proceedings are
inaudible. Relator may raise his contentions that the reporter’s record is incomplete
or inaccurate in an appeal from the trial court’s order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.6(e),
(f); see, e.g., Akinwamide v. Trans. Ins. Co., No. 01-15-00066-CV, 2016 WL
