A transcript of the court reporter's notes, upon request and for
the use of an indigent defendant or a district attorney, may not be
charged to the court fund unless, before its preparation, the cost
to be incurred was authorized by written judicial order.
When a judge authorizes or orders a transcript of the court
reporter's notes of any proceeding to be prepared at the expense of
the court fund, or where a prosecuting attorney orders such a
transcript at public or court fund expense and the accused as an
indigent is constitutionally entitled to a free copy of the
transcript, a reporter shall prepare an original and two copies of
the transcript so ordered and file it with the clerk of the trial
court. The court reporter shall immediately notify the district
attorney and the defendant of the date the transcript was filed. The
district attorney and the defendant shall have access to the copies
of the transcript on such terms as the trial court may impose. The
