Rule 25.17 Misdemeanors or Felonies - Cost of Depostions

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

When someone gives a deposition in a criminal case, there are costs involved in taking that testimony down. The person who runs the deposition (usually a court reporter or similar official) has to certify what those costs were.

Once the costs are certified, they get added to the overall court costs for the case. This means the deposition costs aren't a separate bill on the side. They become part of the total court costs that get handled the way court costs normally are handled in that case.

In short, this rule just explains how deposition costs get tracked and folded into the case's official court costs.
