In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-17-01422-CR
EX PARTE HOWARD HOLLAND
On Appeal from the 422nd Judicial District Court
Kaufman County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 29317A-422
ORDER
Before the Court is appellant’s January 8, 2018 motion for an extension of time to file his
brief and request for a copy of the record. Appellant’s motion is GRANTED to the extent the
time to file appellant’s brief is extended to February 12, 2018. The State’s brief shall be due on
March 5, 2018. The appeal will still be submitted on March 6, 2018. If either party fails to file
their brief by the due date, the appeal will be submitted without that party’s brief.
To the extent appellant is requesting a free copy of the record, appellant’s request is
DENIED. See In re Bonilla, 424 S.W.3d 528, 532 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (concluding indigent
applicants do not have a right to a free record to pursue collateral attacks upon their convictions).
If appellant desires to obtain a copy of the record, the clerk’s record is 161 pages and may
be purchased by mail from the Clerk of the Court for $16.10, payable by check or money order.
The record may also be purchased with cash in person at the Clerk’s office. Additionally, there
is a thirteen-page supplemental clerk’s record that supplements the record with the trial court’s
certification of the right to appeal and the State’s response and trial court order on appellant’s
motion for appointment of counsel. If appellant desires to purchase both the clerk’s record and
the supplemental clerk’s record, the total fee amounts to $17.40.
