Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. PD-1126-10

JUAN ELIGIO ADAMES, Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

ORDER REGARDING REPRESENTATION

HIDALGO COUNTY

This order was delivered per curiam.

O R D E R

Appellant was convicted of capital murder in cause number CR-1278-06-I in the 398^th District Court of Hidalgo County. Appellant was sentenced to confinement for life. The court of appeals reversed the judgment of the trial court. Adames v. State, No. 13-07-00303-CR (Tex. App. -- Corpus Christi, delivered July 22, 2010). Appellant's petition for discretionary review was granted by this Court on January 26, 2011. Counsel representing Appellant filed a motion to withdraw, which was granted by this Court. Appellant is entitled to representation before this Court at this time. See Article 1.051(a)(d)(2), V.A.C.C.P. It appears that Appellant is now without representation in this Court. Accordingly, the trial court is ordered to determine if Appellant is currently represented by counsel, and if so, to inform this Court who represents Appellant. If Appellant is not currently represented by counsel and desires counsel, the trial court must first determine whether Appellant is indigent. If the trial court finds Appellant is indigent, that court shall appoint an attorney to represent Appellant before this Court in regard to PDR No. PD-1126-10, in accord with the provisions of Articles 1.051 and 26.04, V.A.C.C.P. Any hearing conducted pursuant to this order shall be held within 30 days of the date of this order. The trial court's order appointing counsel, any findings of fact, affidavits, or transcription of the court reporter's notes and any other supplementation of the record shall be returned to this Court within 45 days of the date of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 26^th DAY OF JANUARY, 2011
