Docketing Statement was past due and was given until March 23, 2015, 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 Mark A. Calhoon,
Judge of the 173rd District Court of Henderson County, shall immediately conduct a hearing to
determine the cause of counsel’s failure to file the Docketing Statement and whether the
Appellant has abandoned the appeal.
       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 himself 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,
or administer the appropriate warnings concerning the dangers of self-representation, in
accordance with its findings and the court shall also take necessary action to insure the prompt
filing of the Docketing Statement with this Court.
       It is FINALLY ORDERED that a supplemental record containing the court’s findings of
fact and conclusions of law and any appropriate order(s) attendant thereto be certified to this
Court on or before April 27, 2015.
