THE STATE OF TEXAS, 



Appellee

FROM THE 69th DISTRICT COURT OF DALLAM COUNTY;



NO. 4046; HON. RON ENNS, PRESIDING

_______________________________



ON ABATEMENT AND REMAND

_______________________________



Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.

Appellant appeals from his conviction for aggravated assault.  The clerk’s record was filed on December 22, 2008, but the reporter’s record has not been filed.  An extension motion was filed by the court reporter on January 5, 2009, representing that appellant has not submitted a request for the reporter’s record.

Accordingly, we abate this appeal and remand the cause to the 69th District Court of Dallam County (trial court) for further proceedings.  Upon remand, the trial court shall immediately cause notice of a hearing to be given and, thereafter, conduct a hearing to determine the following:

1.  whether appellant desires to prosecute the appeal; 

    	2.  whether appellant is indigent; and, 

3.  whether the appellant is entitled to a free appellate record due to his indigency. 



The trial court shall cause the hearing to be transcribed.  So too shall it 1) execute findings of fact and conclusions of law addressing the foregoing issues, 2) cause to be developed a supplemental clerk’s record containing its findings of fact and conclusions of law and all orders it may issue as a result of its hearing in this matter, and 3) cause to be developed a reporter’s record transcribing the evidence and arguments presented at the aforementioned hearing, if any.  Additionally, the district court shall then file the supplemental records and reporter’s records transcribing the hearing with the clerk of this court on or before February 20, 2009.  Should further time be needed by the trial court to perform these tasks, then same must be requested before February 20, 2009.

It is so ordered.
