                             MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

               Appellant’s brief was due June 15, 2009. The brief has not been received and

appellant’s appointed attorney, Leonard Martinez, did not respond to this Court’s notice that the brief

is overdue.

               The appeal is abated. The trial court shall conduct a hearing to determine whether

appellant desires to prosecute this appeal and, if so, whether the attorney it appointed to represent

appellant has abandoned the appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(2). The court shall make appropriate

findings and recommendations. If necessary, the court shall appoint substitute counsel who will

effectively represent appellant in this cause. A record from this hearing, including copies of all

findings and orders and a transcription of the court reporter’s notes, shall be forwarded to the Clerk

of this Court for filing as a supplemental record no later than October 2, 2009. Rule 38.8(b)(3).
