Case Information

*1 Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas October 28, 2016 No. 04-16-00556-CV ESTATE OF ADAN J. DOMINGUEZ, DECEASED , From the Probate Court No 2, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2015PC2096 Honorable Tom Rickhoff, Judge Presiding O R D E R

The trial court clerk has filed a clerk’s record and a supplemental clerk’s record in this appeal. However, both records filed do not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 34.5(a), which lists the documents to be included in the clerk’s record. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 34.5. In civil cases, the documents to be included are the following: ^[1]

(1) all pleadings on which the trial was held;

(2) the court’s docket sheet,

(3) the court’s charge and the jury’s verdict, or the court’s findings of

fact and conclusions of law; (4) the court’s judgment or other order that is being appealed; (5) any request for findings of fact and conclusions of law, any post-

judgment motion, and the court’s order on the motion; (6) the notice of appeal;

(7) any formal bill of exception;

(8) any request for a reporter’s record, including any statement of

points or issues under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 34.6(c); (9) any request for preparation of the clerk’s record;

(10) a certified bill of costs including the cost of preparing the clerk’s

record, showing credits for payments made; and (11) any filing that a party designates to have included in the record.

T EX . R. A PP . P. 34.5(a).

*2 Both clerk’s records filed by the trial court do not comply with Rule 34.5(a). For example, the clerk’s records do not include the appellant’s will contest. The clerk’s record must contain all pleadings.

We, therefore, ORDER the trial court clerk to file a supplemental clerk’s record on or before November 17, 2016 . In preparing the clerk’s record, the trial court clerk is ORDERED to follow Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 34.5(a).

[1] We note that these documents must be included in a clerk’s record “[u]nless the parties designate the filings in the appellate record by agreement under Rule 34.2.” See T EX . R. A PP . P. 34.5(a). These documents must be included in any clerk’s record no matter what an appellant designates. Thus, appellant is not required to file a designation of materials to be included in the clerk’s record. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 35.3(a); 34.5(a).
