FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2 OF POTTER COUNTY;

NO. 116503-2; 116851-2; HONORABLE PAMELA COOK SIRMON, JUDGE
_______________________________

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.
ON ABATEMENT AND REMAND
	Appellant Kevin Mikel Brashears filed notices of appeal from his convictions of May
15, 2007.  Neither the trial court clerk's record nor the reporter's record has been filed.  On
June 13, 2007, the trial court granted a motion to withdraw filed by appellant's appointed
counsel.  No other order appointing an attorney has been issued. 
	Accordingly, we now abate these appeals and remand the causes to the County
Court at Law No. 2 of Potter County for further proceedings.  Upon remand, the trial court
shall utilize whatever means necessary to determine the following:
	1.	whether appellant desires to prosecute the appeals; 
	2.	whether appellant is indigent; and
	3.	whether the appellant is entitled to appointed counsel.
	Should it be determined appellant wishes to prosecute the appeals, is indigent, and
is entitled to an appointed attorney, the trial court shall appoint counsel.  If counsel is
appointed, the name, address, telephone number, and state bar number of said counsel
shall be included in an order appointing counsel.  If necessary, the trial court shall issue
findings of fact, conclusions of law, and any necessary orders it may enter regarding the
aforementioned issues and cause its findings, conclusions, and orders to be included in
a supplemental clerk's record.  A supplemental record of the hearing, if any, shall also be
prepared.  The supplemental clerk's record and supplemental reporter's record, if any, shall
be filed with the Clerk of this Court on or before September 21, 2007.
	It is so ordered.
