hearing.
       Therefore, it is ORDERED that the trial court conduct a hearing in order to determine if
appellant wishes to continue the appeal and if appellant has been deprived of effective assistance
of counsel.
       Further, the trial court shall forward its findings to the District Clerk of El Paso County,
Texas, on or before November 22, 2017. The District Clerk shall prepare and forward a
supplemental clerk’s record containing the findings and forward the same to this Court on or
before December 2, 2017. Further, the transcription of the hearing shall be prepared, certified
and filed with this Court on or before December 2, 2017.
       IT IS SO ORDERED this 2nd day of November, 2017.
