                             COURT OF APPEALS

                   THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

ABRAHAM HERRERA SOLIS,                                                       Appellant,

                                            v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                           Appellee.

                    On appeal from the 275th District Court
                         of Hidalgo County, Texas.

                          ORDER OF ABATEMENT
     Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Garza
                           Order Per Curiam

      This cause is before the Court because the court reporter, Dahlia Robledo, has

failed to timely file the reporter’s record. The reporter’s record in this cause was due to

be filed on November 21, 2014. On December 2, 2014, the Clerk of the Court notified

the reporter that the record had not been timely filed, requested the reporter to file the
record within 30 days, and warned the reporter that if the record was not filed, the matter

would be referred to the Court. The reporter has failed to file either a response or the

record.

       This sequence of events requires us to effectuate our responsibility to avoid further

delay and to preserve the parties’ rights. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(a)(2). Accordingly,

this appeal is ABATED and the cause REMANDED to the trial court.

       Upon remand, the judge of the trial court shall immediately cause notice to be given

and conduct a hearing to determine whether appellant has abandoned his appeal. If it

is determined that appellant has not abandoned his appeal, the court shall further

determine if appellant’s attorney of record continues to represent appellant and will

diligently pursue this appeal.

       The court shall further determine if the reporter’s record, or any part thereof, has

been lost or destroyed, and shall make appropriate findings under Tex. R. App. P. 34.6(f),

if necessary. Otherwise, the court shall determine what steps are necessary to ensure

the prompt preparation of a reporter's record, and shall enter any orders required to avoid

further delay and to preserve the parties’ rights.

       The trial court shall prepare and file its findings and orders and cause them to be

included in a supplemental clerk's record which should be submitted to the Clerk of this

Court within thirty days from the date of this order.

       IT IS SO ORDERED.

                                                        PER CURIAM

Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the
16th day of January, 2015.
