Derrick Kuykendall v. State ( 2015 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-14-00531-CR Derrick Kuykendall, Appellant v. State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 147TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. D-1-DC-13-300701, HONORABLE BERT RICHARDSON, JUDGE PRESIDING ORDER PER CURIAM Appellant filed his notice of appeal on August 26, 2014, and the reporter’s record in this appeal was due on October 8, 2014. On December 8, 2014, we received correspondence from the court reporter, Kimberly Lee, requesting an additional thirty days in which to file the reporter’s record. However, Lee failed to file the record by that date. Instead, on January 5, February 9, and March 11, 2015, Lee requested additional extensions of time, each time explaining that she was behind in preparing the record due to heavy work loads. Finally, on April 16, 2015, Lee requested a fifth extension of time, stating that she “anticipate[s] being able to file [this case] within three weeks.” To date, the reporter’s record has not been filed. We therefore order Lee to file the reporter’s record in this cause no later than May 15, 2015. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(c), 37.3(a)(2). If the record is not filed by that date, Lee may be required to show cause why she should not be held in contempt of court. It is ordered May 1, 2015.
