32.2. On October 2, 2014, this Court notified Appellant that a Docketing Statement was to be
filed and gave her until October 13, 2014, to file it. Thereafter, when no Docketing Statement
was filed, Appellant was again notified on October 16, 2014, that the Docketing Statement was
past due and was given until October 27, 2014, to file a Docketing Statement. As of the date of
this Order, no satisfactory response has been received.
       Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 32.2 it is ORDERED that the Honorable Paul E. White, Judge
of the 159th District Court of Angelina County, shall immediately conduct a hearing to
determine the cause of Appellant’s failure to file the Docketing Statement and whether the
Appellant has abandoned the appeals.
       It is FURTHER ORDERED that the trial court determine whether: (1) Appellant is
indigent and entitled to the appointment of counsel on appeal; (2) Appellant has sufficient funds
to retain counsel; or (3) Appellant desires to represent herself on appeal.
       It is ADDITIONALLY ORDERED that once findings are made as to the above issues,
the trial court shall appoint counsel, give Appellant an appropriate deadline for retaining counsel,
                                                                                     FILE COPY

accordance with its findings and the court shall also take necessary action to insure the prompt
filing of the Docketing Statement with this Court.

fact and conclusions of law and any appropriate order(s) attendant thereto be certified to this
Court on or before December 4, 2014.
