New TRAP re Sureties

The supreme court has preliminarily approved this addition to the Tex. R. App. P. about the clerk’s record:

Hopefully, this change will make it easier to follow Tex. R. App. 43.5 (and its supreme court analog), which says: “When a court of appeals affirms the trial court judgment, or modifies that judgment and renders judgment against the appellant, the court of appeals must render judgment against the sureties on the appellant’s supersedeas bond, if any, for the performance of the judgment and for any costs taxed against the appellant.”
