REGINALD REECE, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 5th District Court Bowie County, Texas Trial Court Nos. 21F0725-005, 20F0970-005, & 20F0292-005.

Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.

ORDER

On June 7, 2024, our clerk's office, pursuant to Rule 37.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, notified the parties of a potential defect in the trial court's certifications of the defendant's rights of appeal in the above-referenced matters. We have determined that the appellant is entitled to the assistance of counsel in dealing with these matters. As a result, on our own motion and in the interests of justice, we abate this appeal to the trial court with directions to appoint counsel to represent appellant before this Court through the remainder of these appeals.

The trial court need not hold a hearing to accomplish this appointment, though it is free to do so if necessary. A written memorialization of the trial court's appointment shall be entered into the record of the case and presented to this Court in the form of a supplemental clerk's record within five days of the date of this order. Upon receipt of the supplemental clerk's record identifying new counsel, this abatement will terminate.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
