Fourth Court of Appeals

San Antonio, Texas

No. 04-14-00761-CR

David CHARLES,

Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas,

Appellee

From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2012CR5564

Honorable Lori I. Valenzuela, Judge Presiding

ORDER

On April 7, 2015, appellant’s attorney filed a response to this court’s order dated April 6, 

2015. On April 10, 2015, appellant’s attorney filed a letter advisory. After reviewing these

filings, the court has reconsidered the motion for leave to supplement the record filed on March 

31, 2015. See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.5(c) (providing supplemental clerk’s record to be requested by 

letter). This court’s order of April 6, 2015 is WITHDRAWN.

In the response dated April 7, 2015 and advisory dated April 10, 2015, appellant’s 

attorney explained the necessity that a supplemental clerk’s record be filed containing designated 

documents from appellant’s 2009 causes. The underlying trial court cause number 2012-CR5564 involved the reindictment of charges previously pending in trial court cause numbers 2009-

CR-6025 and 2009-CR-6026, which were dismissed three years after the indictments were 

returned in the 2009 causes and two weeks before the trial setting. At a pretrial hearing in the 

2012 cause, the trial court made reference to adopting the motions filed in the 2009 causes and 

the rulings thereon. Counsel’s request to supplement the record with designated documents is 

NOTED. 

It is ORDERED that a supplemental clerk’s record containing the document designated in 

Exhibit 1 to appellant’s March 31, 2015 motion for leave to supplement and in Nancy Barohn’s 

letter to Honorable Lori Valenzuela, dated March 31, 2015, be filed in this appeal no later than 

two weeks from the date of this order. The supplemental clerk’s record should contain an index 

and the documents should be in chronological order. Appellant’s counsel shall work with the 

appropriate clerk to ensure that ALL necessary documents are contained within the supplemental 

clerk’s record.
In her motion for leave to supplement and in the advisory filed on April 10, 2015, 

appellant’s attorney also referred to: (1) a hearing held in the 2009 causes on February 23, 2011; 

(2) the in camera exhibit from a hearing held in the 2009 causes on June 1, 2011; and (3) the 

open-ended possibility of the need to supplement the appellate record with additional reporter’s 

records from hearings held in the 2009 causes. 

It is ORDERED that appellant’s attorney file a written notice in this court no later than 

two weeks from the date of this order listing all additional records of hearings that might be or 

will be requested in this appeal and providing copies of the letters sent to the court reporters 

responsible for preparing all of those records. Appellant’s counsel shall ensure these reporter’s 

records are filed with this Court on or before April 30, 2015. 

Briefing deadlines shall be held in abeyance until the complete records are filed.
