The appellant's brief is overdue in this appeal.

Tex.R.App.P. 38.8. Appellant has not filed a brief or other response.
Pursuant to Rule 38.8(b)(2), we abate this appeal to the trial court to immediately conduct a hearing to determine whether the appellant desires to prosecute his appeal, 1 whether the appellant is indigent, or, if not indigent, whether retained counsel has abandoned the appeal, and to make appropriate findings and recommendations. Id., 38.8(b)(2). In accordance with Rule 38.8(b)(3), the trial court must conduct any necessary hearings, make appropriate findings and recommendations, and have a record of the proceedings prepared, which record-including any order and findings- must be sent to the appellate court. Id., 38.8(b)(3).
The supplemental clerk's and reporter's records required by the rule, if any, are ordered to be filed within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order. See id.
