However, to preserve error, {party} makes this written request and serves a copy on the court reporter.
4. {Party} requests that the court reporter make a full record of all hearings in this case. That includes the following proceedings: all pretrial hearings at which evidence is presented, the entire voir dire, all bench conferences, all evidence presented and objections made during hearings and trial, all orally recorded testimony played during trial, the charge conference, the jury argument, the hearing to receive the jury’s verdict, and all post-trial hearings.
C. Preserve the Notes
5. On request, a court reporter is required to preserve the notes from a hearing or trial for three years from the date they were taken. When the proceedings are recorded by tape recording, the court recorder has a duty to preserve the tapes and the recorder’s logs for at least three years.
6. {Party} requests that the court reporter preserve the shorthand notes and any recordings of all hearings and the trial in this case for at least three years.
