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

NO. 109517; HONORABLE PAMELA C. SIRMON, JUDGE
_______________________________

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
ON ABATEMENT AND REMAND
	Appellant Scott William Bradley has given notice of appeal from a judgment of
conviction and sentence for the offense of criminal trespass.  The appellate court clerk
received and filed the trial court clerk's record on August 9, 2005.  The trial court reporter's
record was filed on November 22, 2005. 
	By letter dated February 1, 2006, the appellate clerk reminded counsel for appellant
that appellant's brief was due on January 23, 2006, and that neither the brief nor a motion
for a further extension of time had been received.  Counsel for appellant was further
advised by such letter that if no response to the letter was received by February 13, 2006,
the appeal would be abated to the trial court for hearing pursuant to Rule of Appellate
Procedure 38.8(b).  No response has been received. 
	Accordingly, this appeal is abated and the cause is remanded to the trial court.  Tex.
R. App. P. 38.8(b)(2).  Upon remand, the judge of the trial court is directed to immediately
cause notice to be given of and to conduct a hearing to determine: 
	(1) 	whether appellant desires to prosecute this appeal; 

	if appellant desires to prosecute this appeal, whether appellant's
present counsel should be replaced; and
	what orders, if any, should be entered to assure the filing of
appropriate notices and documentation to dismiss appellant's appeal
if appellant does not desire to prosecute this appeal, or, if appellant
desires to prosecute this appeal, to assure that the appeal will be
diligently pursued.

If the trial court determines that the present attorney for appellant should be replaced, the
court should cause the clerk of this court to be furnished the name, address, and State Bar
of Texas identification number of the newly-appointed or newly-retained attorney.  
	In support of its determination, the trial court shall prepare and file written findings
of fact and conclusions of law and cause them to be included in a supplemental clerk's
record.  The hearing proceedings shall be transcribed and included in a supplemental
reporter's record.  Those supplemental records shall be submitted to the clerk of this court
no later than March 27, 2006.
