The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2017-CR-13554 Honorable Jefferson Moore, Judge Presiding ORDER The reporter’s record was originally due September 19, 2022 but was not filed. On that date, the court reporter filed a notification of late record, stating that the reporter’s record was not filed because appellant had failed to pay or make arrangements to pay the court reporter’s fee for preparing the record and that appellant was not entitled to appeal without paying the fee. The court reporter requested an extension until October 28, 2022 to file the record. On September 24, 2022 we ordered that appellant provide written proof to this court that either: (1) the reporter’s fee has been paid or arrangements have been made to pay the reporter’s fee; or (2) appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the reporter’s fee. On September 29, 2022, appellant provided a written response stating appellant “filed a request for the records in forma pauperis on September 14, 2022. Judge Moore granted the motion and ordered a free record on September 22, 2022.” Appellant also filed an amended docketing statement containing updated information about his indigency. After consideration, we GRANT the request and ORDER the court reporter to file the record by October 28, 2022. _________________________________ Beth Watkins, Justice IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 4th day of October, 2022. ___________________________________ MICHAEL A.
