THE STATE OF TEXAS, State, v. ISAIAS BURCIAGA, Appellee.
Appeal from the 327th District Court of El Paso County, Texas (TC# 20220D03763)
Before Rodriguez, C.J., Palafox and Soto, JJ.
ORDER
PER CURIAM
On March 23, 2023, the trial court held a hearing on Eduardo Solis' Motion to Withdrawal as Appellant's attorney. On that same day, the trial court signed an order granting the motion. During the hearing, the trial court indicated it would appoint a new attorney to represent Appellant, if he still qualified. Our record does not contain an order appointing new counsel to represent Appellant. This Court does not have the authority to appoint counsel.
Therefore, this appeal is abated, and it is ORDERED that the trial court appoint counsel to represent the Appellant on appeal if he is found to be indigent. Once counsel has been appointed, if Appellant is found indigent, the trial court shall forward its order of appointment to the District Clerk of El Paso County, Texas on or before May 10, 2023. The District Clerk shall prepare and forward a supplemental clerk's record containing the appointment to this Court on or before May 20, 2023. The appellant's brief shall be due thirty days from the date the supplemental clerk's record is filed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
