Appellant Jarred M. Alford is appealing a conviction for driving while intoxicated from the County Court at Law No. 1 of Lubbock County. The appeal was initiated on April 25, 2012, with the clerk's record filed on July 23, 2012. The reporter's record was due on October 5, 2012, but was not submitted by the court reporter. After notifying the reporter of the delay on October 19, 2012, and receiving no response, the appellate court has abated the appeal and remanded the case to the trial court for further proceedings. The trial court is directed to investigate the lack of response from the court reporter, ascertain the reason for the delay in filing the reporter's record, establish a timeline for when the record will be filed, and determine whether a substitute reporter should be appointed to expedite the process. The trial court must complete the following actions: 1. Prepare findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding the aforementioned issues. 2. Develop a supplemental clerk's record containing these findings, conclusions, and any related orders. 3. If a hearing is held, ensure it is transcribed and a reporter's record is created. The completed supplemental clerk's record and any reporter's record from the hearing must be submitted to the appellate court by November 30, 2012. Any requests for additional time to complete these tasks must also be made before this deadline. The ruling is made per curiam and is not intended for publication.
