THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE

On Appeal from the 242nd District Court Hale County, Texas Trial Court No. B17581-0803, Honorable Edward Self, Presiding

May 22, 2013

ON ABATEMENT AND REMAND Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.

Appellant Clyde Garnett Land, III appeals from his conviction for theft. The

district clerk has requested an extension of time to file the record, stating that appellant

has not paid or made arrangements to pay for the record.

Accordingly, we abate this appeal and remand the cause to the 242nd District

Court of Hale County (trial court) for further proceedings. Upon remand, the trial court

shall determine the following: 1. whether appellant desires to prosecute the appeal;

2. whether appellant is indigent; and, if so,

3. whether appellant is entitled to a free record or appointed counsel.

The trial court is also directed to enter such orders necessary to address the

aforementioned questions. So too shall it include its findings on those matters

(including the name, address, and phone number of any attorney it may appoint to

represent appellant in this appeal) in a supplemental record and cause that record to be

filed with this court by June 21, 2013. Should further time be needed to perform these

tasks, then same must be requested before June 21, 2013.

It is so ordered.
