The Fourth Court of Appeals in San Antonio, Texas, issued an order regarding the appeal of Tom Retzlaff against Philip R. Klein, Klein Investigations Consulting, and James W. Landess. On October 25, 2016, Retzlaff submitted an affidavit along with a proposed clerk’s record and reporter’s record, referencing Rule 28.1(e) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, which allows for the use of original papers or sworn copies in accelerated appeals. However, the rule only pertains to the clerk’s record, and it is uncertain if the appellees will contest the provided copies. Consequently, the court ordered the appellees to respond to Retzlaff’s proposed clerk’s record within ten days. Additionally, the proposed reporter’s record was stricken, as Rule 28.1(e) does not permit the use of sworn copies for that record. The deadline for the court reporter to file the official reporter’s record is set for October 27, 2016. The order was signed by Chief Justice Sandee Bryan Marion and recorded by Clerk of Court Keith E. Hottle.
