                                     NO. 03-22-00319-CR

                                Jonathan Fillmore, Appellant

                                               v.

                                 The State of Texas, Appellee

              FROM THE 207TH DISTRICT COURT OF COMAL COUNTY
        NO. CR2019-368, THE HONORABLE R. BRUCE BOYER, JUDGE PRESIDING

                ORDER AND MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

              Appellant’s brief was originally due November 14, 2022. To date, the brief has

not been tendered for filing and is overdue. On December 7, 2022, this Court sent a notice to

appellant informing him that his brief was overdue and that a failure to file a satisfactory

response by December 19, 2022, would result in the referral of this case to the trial court for a

hearing under Rule 38.8(b) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.)

              The appeal is abated and remanded to the trial court. The trial court shall conduct

a hearing to determine whether appellant desires to prosecute this appeal and, if so, whether

counsel has abandoned this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(2), (3). The court shall make

appropriate written findings and recommendations. See id. R. 38.8(b)(2), (3). If necessary, the

court shall appoint substitute counsel who will effectively represent appellant in this appeal.

Following the hearing, which shall be transcribed, the trial court shall order the appropriate
supplemental clerk’s and reporter’s records—including all findings and orders—to be prepared

and forwarded to this Court no later than March 10, 2023. See id. R. 38.8(b)(3).

              It is so ordered February 10, 2023.
