Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-25 (AJR-9 Ninth Region build) from BenchPath custody probe/topics9/287.pdf (application/pdf, 824942 bytes, sha256 8fab08a97f197de8080035a41edc2601c42494eef6c1052b8c8b6d1f64311f14; 1 pages) - the TOPICs-registered document: transcribed from the rendered pages of the scanned PDF (the machine OCR layer was not relied on), every page read against the render; signature, seal and file-stamp blocks bracketed. Kept as printed: Judge McClendon's signature block reads "72nd Judicial District" (the same district as Judge Reyes's block) although the heading lists the 137th District Court and no block names it.
