counsel did not respond to the Court's notice that the brief is overdue.
The district court is ordered to conduct a hearing to determine whether counsel has
abandoned this appeal.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(2).  The court shall make appropriate findings and
recommendations.  If present counsel is not prepared to prosecute this appeal in a timely fashion, the

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 April 1, 2004.  Rule 38.8(b)(3).
