Order entered August 9, 2018
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-18-00118-CR
ANTONIO LAMAR COCHRAN, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 1
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F15-76529-H
ORDER
Before the Court are official court reporter Crystal Jones’s August 2, 2018 second request
for additional time to file the reporter’s record and court reporter Quinlyn Busby’s August 5,
2018 request for a sixty-day extension of time to file his portion of voir dire.
The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure are promulgated by the Texas Supreme Court
and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Rule 35 provides that the appellate court may extend
the deadline to file the reporter’s record but that each extension must not exceed thirty days. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(c). The rules also include Appendix C, Order Directing the Form of the
Appellate Record. TEX. R. APP. P., appx. C. Rule 2 of Appendix C specifically provides that the
court reporter should prepare only one consolidated record in the case. See id.
In light of this, we GRANT the requests to the extent that we ORDER the reporter’s
record filed THIRTY DAYS from the date of this order. Court reporter Quinlyn Busby should
tender his portion of the voir dire to official court reporter Crystal Jones so the consolidated
reporter’s record may be filed in this Court.
