Tex. R. App. P. 37.2 (2026)

On receiving the clerk’s record or the reporter’s record, the appellate clerk must determine whether each complies with the Supreme Court’s and Court of Criminal Appeals’ order on preparation of the record. If so, the clerk must endorse on each the date of receipt, file it, and notify the parties of the filing and the date. If not, the clerk must endorse on the clerk’s record or reporter’s record — whichever is defective — the date of receipt and return it to the official responsible for filing it. The appellate court clerk must specify the defects and instruct the official to correct the defects and return the record to the appellate court by a specified date. In a criminal case, the record must not be posted on the Internet.
