Otto Ratliff v. Ray Brian Uloth

NUMBER 13-22-00140-CV
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
OTTO RATLIFF, Appellant,
v.
RAY BRIAN ULOTH, Appellee.
On appeal from the 18th District Court
of Somervell County, Texas.
ORDER
Before Justices Longoria, Hinojosa, and Silva
Order Per Curiam
Appellant Otto Ratliff filed a notice of appeal regarding a final judgment rendered
against him in trial court cause number C10728 in the 18th District Court of Somervell
County, Texas. The appeal has been transferred to this Court from the Tenth Court of
Appeals in Waco, Texas, pursuant to a docket equalization order issued by the Supreme
Court of Texas. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001. Appellant has now filed a “Motion
to Transfer Original Exhibits” to this Court on grounds that several exhibits were “too large
for inclusion in the reporter’s record.” Appellant argues that “[t]he parties offered these
exhibits to support their respective contentions regarding the real property at issue,” and
asserts that this “Court cannot properly and fully consider the trial court’s decision without
examining the original exhibits.” Appellant thus requests that we direct the trial court clerk
to send certain specific oversized original exhibits to this Court.
The Court, having fully examined and considered appellant’s motion to transfer
original exhibits, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P.
34.6(g)(2). Accordingly, we grant appellant’s motion, and we direct the trial court clerk to
forward the following oversized original exhibits to this Court:
(1) Plaintiff’s Exhibit 3: I.T. Addison Survey A-2;
(2) Plaintiff’s Exhibit 7: Google Map;
(3) Defendant’s Exhibit 137: Glen Rose East Quadrangle, Texas 7.5-Minute
Series;
(4) Defendant’s Exhibit 137A: Glen Rose East Quadrangle, Texas, 7.5-Minute
Series;
(5) Defendant’s Exhibit 138: 100 Acres Tract C.W. Thompson et ux. to Tom
Robinson;
(6) Defendant’s Exhibit 139: 100 Acres Tract C.W. Thompson et ux. to Tom
Robinson; and
(7) Defendant’s Exhibit 140: Brazos River Conservation and Reclamation
District.
2
The trial court clerk should ensure that these exhibits are safely and securely transported
to this Court and should forward these exhibits within fifteen days from the date of this
order.
