Opinion
COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON
ORDER OF ABATEMENT
Appellate case name: David Ray Conley III v. The State of Texas
Appellate case number: 01-21-00566-CR
Trial court case number: 1477785
Trial court: 183rd District Court of Harris County
The State has filed a motion to abate and remand this case to the trial court to issue findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding the trial court’s denial of appellant’s motion to suppress a statement made by appellant to Deputies Compton and Miller. The State asserts that written findings are required because appellant challenges the voluntariness of his statement. See Vasquez v. State, 411 S.W.3d 9189, 920 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013) (holding that “written findings are required in all cases concerning voluntariness.”); TEX. CODE CRIM. P. art. 38.22 § 6. The motion is GRANTED. We abate the appeal and remand for the trial court to enter written findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding the denial of appellant’s motion to suppress. TEX. R. APP. P. 44.4. The trial court shall make the appropriate findings and conclusions and shall cause them to be filed with the trial court clerk within 20 days of the date of this order. We further order the trial court clerk to file a supplemental clerk’s record containing the trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law with this Court within 30 days of the date of this order. This appeal is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this Court’s active docket. The appeal will be reinstated on this Court’s active docket without further order of the Court when the supplemental clerk’s record is filed in this Court. Upon reinstatement, the parties may request an opportunity to amend any briefs filed in the appeal. It is so ORDERED.
