                                            v.

                                THE STATE OF TEXAS,

                       _________________________________

            FROM THE 286th DISTRICT COURT OF HOCKLEY COUNTY;

                 NO. 08026594; HON. HAROLD PHELAN, PRESIDING
                        _______________________________

                           ON ABATEMENT AND REMAND
                         _______________________________

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

      Appellant appeals from his conviction for possession of attempted aggravated

assault causing serious bodily injury. The clerk’s record has not been filed, but the

reporter’s record is due June 6, 2008. An extension motion was filed by the court reporter

on May 14, 2008, representing that appellant has not submitted a written designation for

the record and has not paid or made arrangements to pay for the record.

      Accordingly, we abate this appeal and remand the cause to the 286th District Court

of Hockley 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 June 16, 2008. Should further time be needed by the trial court to

perform these tasks, then same must be requested before June 16, 2008.

       It is so ordered.
