PER CURIAM

                        Appellant Adella Edging’s brief was due July 15, 2010.  The brief has not been

the brief is overdue.
                        The appeal is abated.  The trial court shall conduct a hearing to determine whether
Edging desires to prosecute this appeal and whether appointed counsel has abandoned the appeal. 
See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(2); see also In re T.V., 8 S.W.3d 448, 449-50 (Tex. App.—Waco 1999,

make appropriate findings and recommendations.  A record from this hearing, including copies of
all findings and orders and a transcription of the court reporter’s notes, shall be forwarded to the
Clerk of this Court for filing as a supplemental record no later than December 6, 2010.  See Tex. R.
