TYRECE D'ANDRE HARRIS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 16-24974

ORDER

Retained counsel of record for Tyrece D'andre Harris has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel for Harris and to have Harris declared indigent. Counsel states that since Hurricane Harvey occurred, Harris lacks the funds to pursue his appeal.

It is, therefore, ORDERED that the appeal is abated and the case is remanded to the trial court for the purpose of determining whether counsel should be allowed to withdraw. The trial court shall order that Harris be personally present for the hearing. If the trial court determines that Harris is indigent, and if the trial court determines that counsel of record should be permitted to withdraw, the trial court shall appoint new counsel to represent Harris in this appeal. If the trial court determines that Harris is not indigent, the trial court shall determine whether counsel of record should be permitted to withdraw and shall admonish Harris about the dangers of self-representation prior to determining whether Harris should proceed pro se.

A supplemental clerk's record containing any orders and findings made by the trial court pursuant to this Order, together with a reporter's record of any hearings conducted by the trial court, shall be filed with the Court of Appeals by December 1, 2017.

ORDER ENTERED November 1, 2017.

PER CURIAM Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ.
