		This is an appeal from a conviction for family violence assault.  Appellant's brief was

Further, appellant's appointed attorney, Alexander L. Calhoun, failed to respond to this Court's
notice that the brief is overdue.

whether appellant desires to prosecute this appeal.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(2).  The court shall make
appropriate findings and recommendations.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(3).  If necessary, the court shall
appoint substitute counsel who will effectively represent appellant in this cause.  A record of this
hearing, including copies of all findings and any orders, shall be forwarded to the Clerk of this Court
for filing no later than thirty days from the date of this order.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(3).
