The notice of appeal was timely filed on October 10, 2014. The clerk’s record was filed
on October 17, 2014. On October 28, 2014, the court reporter filed a Notification of Late Record
stating that the record would not be filed until December 1, 2014 due to technical difficulties

section 574.070 of the Health and Safety Code provides that once the notice of appeal is filed,
the trial court clerk is required to “immediately send a certified transcript of the proceedings to
the court of appeals.” TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE ANN. § 574.070(e) (West 2010). In
addition, this Court “shall give an appeal under this section preference over all other cases and
shall advance the appeal on the docket.” Id. § 574.070(c). Accordingly, we ORDER the court
reporter to file the reporter’s record no later than November 17, 2014.
