Fourth Court of Appeals
                                    San Antonio, Texas
                                          February 1, 2023

                                       No. 04-22-00433-CR

                                        Patrick S. PEREZ,
                                             Appellant

                                                  v.

                                       The STATE of Texas,
                                             Appellee

                   From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                 Trial Court No. 2020CR4217
                         Honorable Melisa C. Skinner, Judge Presiding

                                          ORDER
        Appellant has filed a motion to abate, explaining that in reviewing the reporter’s record,
appellant’s counsel determined the reporter’s record is incomplete. Additionally, on January 23,
2023, Mary Beth Sasala, the court reporter responsible for filing the reporter’s record in this
appeal, filed a notification of late reporter’s record, stating that on January 11, 2023, she received
notice that appellant was requesting the entire trial be filed (rather than only the pretrial
hearings). She requests an extension to file the reporter’s record, stating that she anticipates the
reporter’s record will be completed by March 13, 2023.

         We decline to abate this appeal and therefore DENY appellant’s motion to abate.
However, because the appellate record is incomplete, we withdraw the due date for appellant’s
brief. We GRANT the court reporter an extension and ORDER her to file the reporter’s record
on or before March 13, 2023. Further, with regard to the clerk’s record, if any item necessary to
appellant’s appeal is missing from the clerk’s record and the supplemental clerk’s records that
have been filed, appellant must make a specific request for a supplemental clerk’s record with
the trial court clerk within ten days from the date of this order.

                                                       _________________________________

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 1st day of February, 2023.
