and (2) both enhancement paragraphs in case number F18-10048-U. Furthermore, the trial court

shall clarify whether it gave appellant permission to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). We
 ORDER the trial court to transmit a record, containing the written findings of fact, any

 supporting documentation, and any orders, to this Court within THIRTY DAYS of the date of

 this order.

         We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Stephanie Mitchell,

 Presiding Judge, 291st Judicial District Court; to Sasha Brooks, official court reporter of the

 291st Judicial District Court; and to counsel for all parties.

       We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to remove cause numbers 05-18-00988-CR, 05-18-
