                                                     Trial
Court Cause No. 022488

            On
October 6, 2011, this court previously abated this appeal in order that the
trial court could conduct a hearing to determine when Keith Thomas received
notice of the trial court’s judgment.  See Tex. R. Civ. P. 306a; Tex.
R. App. P. 4.2.  We have now received, directly from the trial court, a
letter in which the trial court purports to adopt findings of fact and
conclusions of law proposed by the attorney general.  However, there is no
finding, conclusion, or order addressing our question regarding the date that
Thomas first received notice or acquired actual knowledge of the signing of the
judgment.  We again abate the appeal.  
The
trial court is directed to conduct a hearing on or before January 20, 2012,
regarding Thomas’s notice.  Should Thomas fail to file with the trial court a
motion pursuant to Rule 306a and Rule 4.2, such finding shall be made by the
trial court.  The clerk of the trial court is directed to prepare and forward
to this court a supplemental clerk’s record containing any findings or orders
of the trial court regarding Thomas’s notice of the judgment.  The court
reporter is directed to prepare and forward to this court the reporter’s record
from the hearing.  These records are due to be filed in this court on or before
February 6, 2012.  
            The
appeal is abated.
