In The
              Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

                  No. 06-14-00239-CR

          MARK EUGENE ENGLE, Appellant

                           V.

           THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

        On Appeal from the 354th District Court
                Hunt County, Texas
               Trial Court No. 29,110

      Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
                                          ORDER

        Court reporter Julie Vrooman recorded the trial court proceedings in cause number 06-14-

00239-CR, styled Mark Eugene Engle v. The State of Texas, trial court cause number 29,110 in

the 354th Judicial District Court of Hunt County, Texas. The reporter’s record was originally due

in this matter January 29, 2015. That deadline was extended twice by this Court on Vrooman’s

request, resulting in the most recent due date of April 1, 2015. Vrooman has now filed a third

request seeking an additional extension of the filing deadline.

        The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure establish that “trial and appellate courts are jointly

responsible for ensuring that the appellate record is timely filed.” TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(c). The

Rules further instruct that an “appellate court may enter any order necessary to ensure the timely

filing of the appellate record.” Id. In furtherance of our responsibilities established by the Rules,

we find we must take steps to ensure that the record in this case is filed in a reasonable amount of

time.

        Therefore, we overrule Vrooman’s third request for an extension of the filing deadline and

hereby order her to file the reporter’s record in cause number 06-14-00239-CR, styled Mark

Eugene Engle v. The State of Texas, trial court cause number 29,110 in the 354th Judicial District

Court of Hunt County, Texas, to be received by this Court no later than Wednesday, April 22,

2015.

        If the reporter’s record is not received by April 22, we warn Vrooman that we may begin

contempt proceedings and order her to show cause why she should not be held in contempt of this

Court for failing to obey its order.

                                                 2
      IT IS SO ORDERED.

                              BY THE COURT

Date: April 14, 2015
