Before the Court is appellant’s motion for correction of reporter’s record. Appellant
asserts the reporter’s record contains several mistakes and asks the matter be referred to the trial
court.
We GRANT the motion and ORDER the trial court to conduct a hearing, no later than
November 19, 2018, to determine if the reporter’s record contains any inaccuracies as alleged in
appellant’s motion. See Tex. R. App. P. 34.6(e)(3). If inaccuracies are found, the court reporter
shall conform the reporter’s record to what occurred in the trial court and file certified
corrections in this Court. See id.
The trial court shall file, no later than November 26, 2018, written findings and shall
have a supplemental clerk’s record containing the findings and any relevant orders filed with the
Court. The record of the hearing shall also be filed in a supplemental reporter’s record. Both
supplemental records shall be filed no later than November 28, 2018.
We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of this order and appellant’s motion
to (1) the Honorable Jim Jordan, Presiding Judge of the 160th Judicial District Court; and (2)
Sharron Rankin, Official Court Reporter for the 160th Judicial District Court. A copy of this
order shall also be sent to the parties.
We ABATE the appeal, including the deadline for filing appellant’s brief on the merits,
to allow the trial court an opportunity to conduct the requested hearing. The appeal will remain
abated until further order of this Court.
