Christian Sauder v. State

Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER Appellate case name: Christian Sauder v. The State of Texas Appellate case number: 01-19-00239-CR Trial court case number: 16-CCR-187341 Trial court: County Court at Law No. 1 of Fort Bend County Appellant, Christian Sauder, has filed two motions to extend time to file his brief.

Prior to ruling on appellant’s motions, appellant filed his brief. Accordingly, we dismiss as moot appellant’s motions to extend time.

Appellant has also filed a motion to supplement the clerk’s record. Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 34.5 provides, “If a relevant item has been omitted from the clerk’s record, the trial court, the appellate court, or any party may by letter direct the trial court clerk to prepare, certify, and file in the appellate court a supplement containing the omitted item.” TEX. R. APP. P. 34.5(c)(1). Appellant filed his brief contemporaneously with his motion to supplement the clerk’s record, and appellant’s motion does not indicate whether he needed the supplemental records for his brief. We believe it is more prudent for appellant’s counsel to request the supplemental clerk’s record to ensure any relevant omitted items are included in any supplement clerk’s record. Accordingly, we deny appellant’s motion to supplement the record.

It is so ORDERED.
