In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-17-00074-CR
DANIEL MOONEYHAM, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 202nd District Court
Bowie County, Texas
Trial Court No. 15F0640-202
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
ORDER
Court Reporter Camille C. Warren recorded the trial court proceedings in appellate cause
number 06-17-00074-CR, styled Daniel Mooneyham v. The State of Texas, trial court cause
number 15F0640-202 in the 202nd Judicial District Court of Bowie County, Texas. The reporter’s
record was originally due in this matter on May 30, 2017. That deadline was extended twice by
this Court, resulting in the most recent due date of July 31, 2017. Although we cautioned Warren
that we would not look favorably on additional requests to extend the deadline, 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 Warren to file the reporter’s record in appellate cause number 06-17-
00074-CR, styled Daniel Mooneyham v. The State of Texas, trial court cause number 15F0640-
202 in the 202nd Judicial District Court of Bowie County, Texas, to be received no later than the
close of business August 10, 2017.
If the reporter’s record is not received on or before August 10, we warn Warren 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.
