Trekeymian Jamal Allison v. State

In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-18-00081-CR
TREKEYMIAN JAMAL ALLISON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 188th District Court
Gregg County, Texas
Trial Court No. 46,569-A
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
ORDER
Court reporter Grelyn Freeman recorded the trial court proceedings in appellate cause
number 06-18-00081-CR, styled Trekeymian Jamal Allison v. The State of Texas, trial court cause
number 46,569-A in the 188th Judicial District Court of Gregg County, Texas. The reporter’s
record was originally due in these matters on July 3, 2018. That deadline was extended twice by
this Court, on Freeman’s motions, resulting in the most recent due date of August 22, 2018.
Although we warned Freeman that additional requests to extend the filing deadline would not be
granted, she has nonetheless filed a third request for an extension of the filing deadline.
The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure establish that “trial and appellate courts are jointly
responsible for ensuring that the appellate record is timely filed.” TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(c). The
Rules further instruct that an “appellate court may enter any order necessary to ensure the timely
filing of the appellate record.” Id. In furtherance of our responsibilities established by the Rules,
we find we must take steps to ensure that the record in this case is filed in a reasonable amount of
time.
Therefore, we order Freeman to file the reporter’s record in cause number 06-18-00081-
CR, styled Trekeymian Jamal Allison v. The State of Texas, trial court cause number 46,569-A in
the 188th Judicial District Court of Gregg County, Texas, to be received no later than Friday,
September 7, 2018.
If the reporter’s record is not received by September 7, we warn Freeman that we may
begin contempt proceedings and order her to show cause why she should not be held in contempt
of this Court for failing to obey its order.
