Mark Lyn Broadaway, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, NO. 14-07826-1, HONORABLE MICHAEL JERGINS, JUDGE PRESIDING ORDER AND MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Appellant Mark Lyn Broadaway filed a notice of appeal in this Court on November 28, 2016. Subsequently, this Court granted appellant two extensions of time to file his brief, for a total of 117 days. On July 7, 2017, appellant filed another motion for extension of time, and on August 4, 2017, we ordered appellant to file his brief no later than September 5, 2017. We also instructed appellant that no further extensions would be granted and that if appellant failed to file his brief by the deadline, a hearing before the district court would be ordered.
To date, appellant's brief has not been filed, nor have we received a response from counsel. We therefore abate the appeal and remand the cause to the district court. The district court shall hold a hearing immediately to determine whether appellant still wishes to prosecute his appeal, whether appellant is indigent, and whether counsel has abandoned the appeal. If appellant desires to appeal and is indigent, the district court should make appropriate orders to ensure that appellant is adequately represented on appeal. Following the hearing, the district court should order the appropriate supplemental clerk's and reporter's records to be prepared and forwarded to this Court no later than November 10, 2017.
