On November 24, 2014, the interim Chief Public Defender of Bexar County, Texas filed a motion asking this court to abate this appeal to the trial court for a determination of whether appellant is in fact indigent and entitled to representation by the Bexar County Public Defender's Office.

The motion is GRANTED and this cause is ABATED and REMANDED to the trial court for it to make appropriate findings and rule on these issues:

We further ORDER the trial court to file in this court, no later than January 5, 2015, (1) a reporter's record of the hearing, and (2) a supplemental clerk's record containing the court's written findings of fact and conclusions of law on the above issues.

All other appellate deadlines are suspended until further notice from this court.
