VANCE LEMORRIS THOMAS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 7
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F10-42399-Y and F10-42400-Y
ORDER
On June 6, 2013, we ordered the Dallas County District Clerk to prepare and file
supplemental clerk’s records containing a detailed itemization of the costs assessed in these
cases, including but not limited to, specific court costs, fees, and court appointed attorney fees.
The Dallas County Clerk subsequently filed supplemental records. However, the itemization of
costs included in the supplemental records does not comply with the Texas Code of Criminal
Procedure. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. arts. 103.001, 103.006 (West 2006).
Accordingly, we ORDER the Dallas County District Clerk to file, within ten days of the
date of this order, second supplemental clerk’s records that contain a detailed itemization of the
costs assessed in these cases that comply with article 103.001 and 103.006 of the Texas Code of
Criminal Procedure. See id. arts. 103.001 (“A cost is not payable by the person charged with the
cost until a written bill is produced or is ready to be produced, containing the items of cost,
signed by the officer who charged the cost or the officer who is entitled to receive payment
for the cost.”) (emphasis added), 103.006 (“if a criminal action or proceeding . . . is appealed, an
officer of the court shall certify and sign a bill of costs that have accrued and send the bill to the
court in which the action or proceeding is . . . appealed) (emphasis added).
