County Civil Court at Law No. 4 of Harris County Trial court Number 1129720
MEMORANDUM ORDER
SARAH BETH LANDAU, JUDGE
This Court has determined that the exhibits admitted into the evidence at the trial on the merits of the above-referenced cause were not included as part of the reporter's record forwarded to this Court on appeal. Specifically, the reporter's record does not include (1) Plaintiff's Exhibit Nos. 1-9 or (2) "all of the proposed exhibits submitted by defendant," even though volume 1, page 10 of the reporter's record indicates those exhibits were admitted into the evidence. Nor does the reporter's record include any other admitted exhibits. The appellate record does not reflect that appellant requested only a partial reporter's record. See Tex. R. App. P. 34.6(c).
Accordingly, we order the official court reporter for the County Civil Court at Law No. 4 of Harris County to prepare, certify, and file a supplemental reporter's record of the exhibits admitted into the evidence at the trial on the merits of the above-referenced cause. See Tex. R. App. P. 34.6(d) ("If anything relevant is omitted from the reporter's record, . . . the appellate court . . . may by letter direct the official court reporter to prepare, certify, and file in the appellate court a supplemental reporter's record containing the omitted items."). The supplemental record is due in this Court on or before September 29, 2022.
We further order appellant to provide written evidence from the court reporter showing that appellant has paid the complete reporter's fee, including the portion of the fee for preparation of the supplemental record containing the omitted exhibits, if any, on or before September 19, 2022; otherwise, the Court may decide the appeal under the presumptions applicable in cases with partial reporter's records. See Tex. R. App. P. 34.6(c)(4).
It is so ORDERED.
