                              COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE
                         FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON

                                         ORDER

Appellate case name:        Rolando Acevedo, et al. v. The O’Quinn Law Firm, John H.
                            O’Quinn & Associates, LLP, and T. Gerald Treece, as
                            Independent Executor of the Estate of John M. O’Quinn,
                            deceased

Appellate case number:      01-14-00138-CV

Trial court case number:    392247-416

Trial court:                Probate Court No. 2 of Harris County

        On May 29, 2014, we granted the “Joint Motion to Return Clerk’s Record and
Order Filing of New Clerk’s Record in Proper Form” filed by the intervenors-appellants
in the above-referenced appeal and the appellants in appellate cause number 01-14-
00027-CV, struck the clerk’s record filed in each appeal, and ordered the trial court clerk
to file a new clerk’s record in each appeal within 45 days.
       In appellate cause number 01-14-00138-CV, the trial court clerk filed a
supplemental clerk’s record on June 20, 2014. Similarly, in appellate cause number 01-
14-00027-CV, the trial court clerk filed a supplemental clerk’s record on June 9, 2014
and an amended clerk’s record on June 18, 2014.
       On July 8, 2014, appellants in cause number 01-14-00027-CV filed a “Motion to
Return the Clerk’s Record and Order the Filing of a New Record in the Proper Form, and
for an Extension in Appellants’ Briefing Deadline.” Appellants in cause number 01-14-
00027-CV contend that, while some of the defects that were present in the February 26,
2014 clerk’s records have been cured, the June 9, 2014 supplemental clerk’s record and
the June 18, 2014 clerk’s record are still defective, because they are not paginated
consecutively across all 18 volumes and do not contain a single table of contents at the
beginning of each volume with detailed identification of each document.1 Pls.’ Mot. at 2-
5.
      After reviewing the clerk’s records in 01-14-00138-CV, we STRIKE the June 20,
2014 supplemental clerk’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. app. C, R. 1.1, 1.4.
        We ORDER the trial court clerk to file a new clerk’s record in proper form in the
above-referenced appeal, pursuant to the trial court’s April 15, 2014 order and in
accordance with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.5,
35.3(a); TEX. R. APP. P. app. C, R. 1.4 (non-conforming records and supplements).
Specifically, the trial court clerk must paginate each clerk’s or supplemental clerk’s
record consecutively across all the volumes in each record until the final page of the final
volume in the clerk’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. app. C, R. 1.1(e). The trial court clerk
must further include a table of contents in each volume of each clerk’s record containing
a detailed identification of each document, using the full title of each document, and the
date each document was filed, arranging them in ascending chronological order, by date
of filing or occurrence, after the cover page and table of contents, and must use
bookmarks to link to each full document description in the table of contents, or as much
of it as possible. See id. at R. 1.1(d), (g), and (i).
       The new clerk’s record from trial court case number 392247-416 should be filed in
appellate cause number 01-14-00138-CV.
       The deadline for the trial court clerk to file proper clerk’s records in this appeal
shall be 30 days from the date of this order.
        Finally, intervenors-appellants’ extension motion, filed on July 18, 2014, in
appellate cause number 01-14-00138-CV, is dismissed as moot. The appellants’ briefs in
each of these appeals will be due 30 days after the date the new clerk’s records are filed
in their respective appeals.2 See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a)(1).
       It is so ORDERED.

       each document.
