James Charles Bedree v. State ( 2014 )

In The Court of Appeals Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo No. 07-14-00009-CR JAMES CHARLES BEDREE, APPELLANT V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE On Appeal from the 181st District Court Randall County, Texas Trial Court No. 23,626-B, Honorable John B. Board, Presiding June 26, 2014 ABATEMENT AND REMAND Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ. Appellant James Charles Bedree appeals from his conviction for indecency with a child. On June 20, 2014, we received a request from the court reporter requesting an extension of time wherein she stated that appellant had not completed payment for the record even though he was supposed to forward the balance directly to her. Accordingly, we abate this appeal and remand the cause to the 181st District Court (trial court) for further proceedings. Upon remand, the trial court shall determine the following: 1. whether appellant desires to prosecute the appeal; 2. whether appellant is indigent; and, if so, 3. whether appellant is entitled to a free record. The trial court is also directed to enter such orders necessary to address the aforementioned questions. So too shall it include its findings on those matters in a supplemental record and cause that record to be filed with this court by July 28, 2014. Should further time be needed to perform these tasks, then same must be requested before July 28, 2014. Furthermore, the court reporter’s request for extension of time is granted, and the record will not be due until further notice from this court. It is so ordered. Per Curiam Do not publish. 2
