The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

3. “(d) Supplementation. If anything relevant is omitted from the reporter's record, the trial court, the appellate court, or any party may by letter direct the official court reporter to prepare, certify, and file in the appellate court a supplemental reporter’s record containing the omitted items. Any supplemental reporter’s record is part of the appellate record. (e) Inaccuracies in the reporter’s record. (1) Correction of inaccuracies by agreement. The parties may agree to correct an inaccuracy in the reporter’s record, including an exhibit, without the court reporter's recerti-fication. (2) Correction of inaccuracies by trial court. If the parties cannot agree on whether or how to correct the reporter’s record so that the text accurately discloses what occurred in the trial court and the exhibits are accurate, the trial court must — after notice and hearing — settle the dispute. If the court finds any inaccuracy, it must order the court reporter to conform the reporter’s record (including text and any exhibits) to what occurred in the trial court, and to file certified corrections in the appellate court. (3) Correction after filing in appellate court. If the dispute arises after the reporter's record has been filed in the appellate court, that court may submit the dispute to the trial court for resolution. The trial court must then proceed as under subparagraph (e)(2).”
