BONNIE ALLEN THOMAS A/K/A BONNIE RUTH ALLEN PIERONI A/K/A BONNIE STRAIGHT, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
From the 18th District Court Johnson County, Texas Trial Court No. F50926
Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Johnson, and Justice Smith
ABATEMENT ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant Bonnie Allen Thomas a/k/a Bonnie Ruth Allen-Pieroni a/k/a Bonnie Straight is appealing from the trial court's revocation of her community supervision. Appellant is representing herself in this appeal.
The appellant's brief is now overdue in this appeal. The Clerk of the Court's February 12, 2024 letter to Appellant states:
Our records indicate that appellant's brief was due on or before January 16, 2024. To date, no brief has been filed.
Unless a brief or satisfactory response is received within 14 days from the date of this letter, this Court must abate the appeal and order the trial court to immediately conduct a hearing pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8(b)(2) & (3).
You will notice that the trial court has been copied with this letter as required by the Rules of Appellate Procedure. Tex.R.App.P. 38.8(b)(2). Presumably, the purpose of notifying the trial court is to allow intervention by the trial court before this Court formally abates this appeal for a hearing.
Because the appellant's brief was not filed within 14 days, we abate this appeal to the trial court to conduct any necessary hearings within 21 days of the date of this Order in accordance with Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8(b)(2) and (3). See id. R. 38.8(b)(2), (3).
The supplemental clerk's and reporter's records required by the rule, if any, are ordered to be filed within 35 days of the date of this Order. See id.
