COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

IN THE MATTER OF J.R. JR., A JUVENILE

On appeal from the 197th District Court of Cameron County, Texas.

ORDER OF ABATEMENT Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Longoria Order Per Curiam

Appellant, J.R. Jr., a juvenile, through his appointed counsel, filed a notice of

appeal regarding the trial court’s order transferring his case to adult court. See TEX. FAM.

CODE ANN. §§ 54.02, 56.01 (West, Westlaw through 2015 R.S.). The reporter’s record

has been filed in this case, however, the clerk’s record has not yet been filed because

appellant has not made arrangements for payment. Accordingly, we ABATE this appeal

and REMAND the cause to the trial court for further proceedings. Upon remand, the trial

court shall cause notice of a hearing to be given and, thereafter, conduct a hearing to determine the following: (1) whether appellant is indigent; and (3) whether appellant is

entitled to a free appellate record due to his indigency.

The trial court shall cause its findings and recommendations, together with any

orders it may enter regarding the aforementioned issues, to be included in a supplemental

clerk's record and shall cause a supplemental reporter's record of any proceedings to be

prepared. The supplemental clerk's record and reporter's record, if any, shall be filed

with the Clerk of this Court on or before the expiration thirty days from the date of this

order.

It is so ORDERED.

PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the 3rd day of October, 2015.
