JAIME RAMIREZ, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, State.
Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 7 of El Paso County, Texas (TC# 20100C08395) ORDER
The reporter's record in the above styled and numbered cause was due July 13, 2016. On July 22, 2016 the Court filed a notice from Ms. Chavez, Court Reporter for this case stating that she was advised that Appellant would be abandoning the appeal. The reporter's record has not been filed as of this date and the Clerk's Office has been unsuccessful in its efforts to contact Ms. Elia Garcia in order for a motion to dismiss the appeal to be filed with this Court.
It is therefore ORDERED that the trial judge conduct a hearing to determine whether Appellant has been deprived of a reporter's record for any reason, including ineffective assistance of counsel, or whether Appellant will or will not proceed with this appeal. The trial judge shall make appropriate findings and recommendations, which may include appointment of new counsel. The record of such hearing, including any orders and findings of the trial judge, shall be certified and forwarded to this office on or before September 14, 2016.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 15th day of August, 2016.
PER CURIAM Before McClure, C.J., Rodriguez, and Hughes, JJ.
