The reporter's record in these appeals was originally filed on January 19, 2017. In a letter dated May 12, 2017, the Clerk of this Court notified the court reporter, Jeannye L. Skinner, that Volume 4 of the reporter’s record in both of these appeals was incorrect in

that the volume provided to the Court pertained to the appeal in 10-16-00226-CR, Edwards v. State . The reporter was asked to provide the correct Volume 4 for these appeals, preferably within 7 days from the date of the letter. The reporter was further asked to *2 contact the Court if the correct Volume 4 could not be provided within the timeframe specified.

When the reporter failed to respond to the Clerk’s letter, we abated these appeals to the trial court to hold a hearing to determine why the reporter had not provided the Court with the correct Volume 4 and a date certain when the reporter could file the correct Volume 4. The trial court was ordered to have a hearing by June 7, 2016.

We have now received the correct Volume 4 of the reporter’s record from the reporter. That was all we needed. The abatement and related loss of resources could have been avoided entirely if the reporter had only complied with the Clerk’s earlier request.

Accordingly, we withdraw our Abatement Order issued May 31, 2017 and reinstate these appeals.
