ARKEITH JERMONE DAVIS A/K/A ARKEITH J. DAVIS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, State.
Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 1 of Tarrant County, Texas (TC# 1227199D) ORDER
On February 25, 2015, Danny Burns, Appellant's retained attorney, filed with this Court a motion to withdraw as attorney on appeal. However, before this Court considers this motion, it will be necessary for the trial court to conduct a hearing.
Therefore, it is ORDERED that the trial court conduct a hearing in order to determine if the appellant is entitled to court-appointed counsel or if he wishes to proceed pro se. The trial court shall enter all necessary orders and/or findings which may include making the appellant aware of the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation and develop evidence as to whether appellant's apparent decision to relinquish benefits associated with counsel and to proceed pro se is knowingly and intelligently made under Hubbard v. State, 739 S.W.2d 341 (Tex.Crim.App. 1987)
The trial court shall forward its findings to the District Clerk of Tarrant County, Texas, on or before March 18, 2015. The District Clerk shall prepare and forward a supplemental clerk's record containing the findings and forward the same to this Court on or before March 28, 2015. Further, the transcription of the hearing shall be prepared, certified and filed with this Court on or before March 28, 2015.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 26th day of February, 2015.
PER CURIAM Before McClure, C.J., Rodriguez and Hughes, JJ.
