RE: Court of Appeals Number: 02-15-00260-CR, 02-15-00261-CR

Trial Court Case Number: 1378634R, 1379351R

Style: Thomas Paul Tadsen

v.

The State of Texas

The court has received a copy of the notice of appeal in the above cases. 

See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(c). 

We have not received a docketing statement. See Tex. R. App. P. 32.2. 

Therefore, the appellant is directed to file a docketing statement no later than 

Monday, August 10, 2015, or as soon as practicable thereafter. If you cannot 

file a complete docketing statement at that time for good cause, you are directed 

to send a letter to the clerk explaining your reasons for not timely filing the 

statement and when you expect to file the statement.

NOTE TO APPELLANT: At or before the time for perfecting the appeal, 

you must request in writing that the official reporter prepare the reporter’s record. 

The request must designate the exhibits to be included. A request to the court 

reporter must also designate the portions of the proceedings to be included. You 

must also file a copy of this request with the trial court clerk. See Tex. R. App. P. 

34.6. NOTE TO PARTIES: Except for the docketing statement, all filings by the 

parties, and all correspondence and rulings by the court, in this appeal will be 

posted to this court’s website and will be accessible to the parties and the public 

when viewing the case record via the Case Search function on this court’s 

website. Upon a party’s motion showing good cause, the court may order that 

filings and briefs in an appeal not be posted to the court’s website. Motions and

briefs filed with this court must redact sensitive information in accordance with 

rules 9.9 and 9.10 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure and this court’s local rule 

7. Tex. R. App. P. 9.10; Loc. R. 7. The court may require a document to be 

corrected and resubmitted if, upon screening, the court discovers unredacted 

sensitive data. A party who is not represented by counsel is not required to 

include his or her home address on any filing except the docketing statement.

NOTE TO COURT REPORTER: You must file the reporter's record in this 

court within 60 days after the date the sentence is imposed or suspended in open 

court or the order appealed from is signed; OR 120 days after the date the 

sentence is imposed or suspended in open court or the order appealed from is 

signed if a timely motion for new trial is filed and denied; OR if a motion for new 

trial is granted, 60 days after the order granting the motion is signed; OR 15 days 

after the notice of appeal is filed if this is an accelerated appeal. See Tex. R. 

App. P. 31.1, 35.2. You should contact the appellant(s) and make arrangements 

for receiving payment for the record. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(b)(3). If you were 

not the court reporter in this case, or if additional court reporters took testimony in 

this case, please advise the court in writing immediately.

Respectfully yours,

DEBRA SPISAK, CLERK
