                                        Appellees

                From the 229th Judicial District Court, Jim Hogg County, Texas
                                 Trial Court No. CC-04-143
                         Honorable Ana Lisa Garza, Judge Presiding

                                        ORDER
       The clerk’s record was filed April 10, 2014; however it is being returned to the District
Clerk of Jim Hogg County because it fails to comply with the Supreme Court Order Directing
the Form of the Appellate Record. In particular:

       1) when more than one request for inclusion of items in the record is filed, the clerk must
       prepare only one consolidated record. Here, it appears the clerk prepared a separate
       volume for each request; see Supreme Court Order Directing the Form of the Appellate
       Record. Rule 1.1;

       2) the documents in the consolidated record must be arranged in ascending chronological
       order, by date of filing or by date of occurrence, see id. Rule 1.1(d);

       3) page numbering does not start on the front cover of the first volume of the clerk’s
       record and continue to number all pages consecutively—including the front and back
       covers, tables of contents, and certification page—until the final page of the clerk’s
       record, without regard for the number of volumes in the clerk’s record, see id. Rule
       1.1(e); and
       4) the detailed table of contents must state the date each document was filed, see id. Rule
       1.1(i).

        We therefore order Zonia G. Morales, the District Clerk of Jim Hogg County, Texas, to
prepare a new clerk’s record in proper form. We order the new record filed in this court by
April 30, 2014. The clerk must provide a copy of the corrected record to any party who has
previously made a copy of the original, defective clerk’s record at the trial clerk’s expense. See
id. Rule 1.4.
