                        THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


                    On Appeal from the 263rd District Court
                            Harris County, Texas
                        Trial Court Cause No. 1377321

                   CONTINUING ABATEMENT ORDER

      On March 10, 2016, this court directed the trial court to reduce to writing its
findings of fact and conclusions of law on the voluntariness of appellant’s statement.
Our order required the trial judge to forward a supplemental clerk’s record
containing the findings and conclusions. The court’s findings and conclusions were
to be filed with the clerk of this court on or before April 11, 2016. To date, the court
has not received the record or findings.
      Accordingly, the trial court is directed to reduce to writing its findings of fact
and conclusions of law on the voluntariness of appellant’s statement and have a
supplemental clerk’s record containing those findings filed with the clerk of this
court on or before June 30, 2016. If the trial court’s findings were dictated into the
record, the trial court is directed to include those findings in a supplemental clerk’s
record to be filed with the clerk of this court on or before June 30, 2016.

      The appeal is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this court’s
active docket. The appeal will be reinstated on this court’s active docket when the
trial court’s findings and recommendations are filed in this court. The court will also
consider an appropriate motion to reinstate the appeal filed by either party.

      It is so ORDERED.
