On Appeal from the 382nd Judicial District Court Rockwall County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2-21-0335

ORDER

ERIN A. NOWELL JUSTICE

Appellant timely filed his pro se notice of appeal in the above case. We ORDER the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine whether appellant is indigent and entitled to court-appointed counsel in this appeal. If the trial court finds that appellant is entitled to court-appointed counsel, we ORDER the trial court to appoint an attorney to represent appellant in the appeal. If the trial court finds that appellant is not entitled to court-appointed counsel, the trial court shall determine whether appellant will retain counsel to represent him in the appeal and, if so, the name, State Bar number, and contact information for retained counsel.

We ORDER the trial court to transmit any record of the hearing on counsel, including findings of fact, any orders, and any supporting documentation, to this Court within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order.

We ORDER District Clerk Lea Carlson to file a supplemental clerk's record containing the appointment of counsel within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Brett Hall, Presiding Judge, 382nd Judicial District Court; to Lea Carlson, Rockwall County District Clerk; and to the Rockwall County District Attorney's Office, Appellate Division.

We ABATE the appeal to allow the trial court an opportunity to comply with this order. It will be reinstated when the supplemental clerk's record is filed or the Court deems it appropriate to do so.
