               Appellant’s brief was due September 29, 2005. Appellant’s appointed attorney, Mr.

               The appeal is abated for the district court to conduct a hearing to determine whether

counsel has abandoned the appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(2). The court shall make appropriate

findings and recommendations. If necessary, the court shall appoint substitute counsel who will

effectively represent appellant on appeal. A record 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 November 28, 2005. Rule 38.8(b)(3).
