THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F15-18108-R ORDER The Court has before it appellant’s October 3, 2016 “motion to supplement the record on appeal and to hold the briefing schedule in abeyance.” In the motion, appellant states he requested the reporter’s record on July 27, 2016 but the court reporter has not filed a reporter’s record of his guilty plea in front of the trial court. He asks this Court to order the court reporter to supplement the record with the transcript of his guilty plea.

If no such record exists, court reporter Joseph Phillips shall certify the same in writing to this Court.

We DENY appellant’s motion to the extent he asks us to “hold the briefing schedule in abeyance.” Appellant’s brief shall be due thirty days after the court reporter files either the supplemental reporter’s record or the written certification that no record exists. See TEX. R. APP. 38.6(a)(2).
