v.

MARATHON OIL EF, LLC and Marathon Oil EF II, LLC,

Appellees

From the 218th Judicial District Court, Karnes County, Texas

Trial Court No. 17-02-00033-CVK

Honorable Russell Wilson, Judge Presiding

ORDER

The reporter’s record was originally due by July 6, 2020. On September 24, 2020, after 

extending the deadline to file the reporter’s record, this court ordered the court reporter, Leticia 

Murillo Escamilla, to do the following:

1) Email daily work logs every business day to a deputy clerk of this court by 5:00 p.m.;

2) File the volumes of the reporter’s record as they are completed; 

3) Work on the volumes of the court proceedings in consecutive order and complete work 

on a volume before beginning work on the next; 

4) File status reports every fourteen days, indicating the volumes filed, the nature of the 

proceedings contained in each volume, and a fair estimate of a completion date for all 

remaining volumes; and

5) File the complete reporter’s record by October 5, 2020. 

Since that order, Ms. Escamilla has complied with the first four requirements outlined above. 

However, the reporter’s record remains incomplete. At this time, Ms. Escamilla has filed 

Volumes 1 through 7; volumes 8 through 11 as well as the exhibits remain outstanding. 

Additionally, Ms. Escamilla has filed three notifications of late record, with the last notification 

requesting an extension until December 21, 2020 to file the complete record. 

In light of the foregoing, we GRANT Ms. Escamilla’s request for an extension. IT IS 

ORDERED that Leticia Murillo Escamilla shall continue to email a daily work log to a deputy 
clerk of this court by 5:00 p.m. every business day. The daily work log shall be completed on the 

form attached to this order. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Ms. Escamilla shall continue to file the volumes of the 

reporter’s record as they are completed. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Ms. Escamilla shall continue to work on the volumes of 

court proceedings in consecutive order and shall complete work on a volume before beginning 

work on the next. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Ms. Escamilla shall continue to file a status report every 

7 days after December 23, 2020, indicating the volumes filed, the nature of the proceedings 

contained in each volume, and a fair estimate of completion date for all remaining volumes, until 

the complete reporter’s record is filed. Ms. Escamilla’s next status report is due on December 23, 

2020. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the complete reporter’s record must be filed in this court 

no later than December 28, 2020. No further requests for extension of time to file the 

reporter’s record will be granted. If the record is not received by such date, this court may 

issue an order directing Ms. Escamilla to appear before this court in person and show 

cause why she should not be held in contempt for failing to file the record.
