TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-13-00056-CR

Jeffery N. Rucks, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF COMAL COUNTY, 207TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. CR2012-297, HONORABLE GARY L. STEEL, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant has filed a motion asking us to abate the appeal so that the trial court may

enter findings of fact and conclusions of law as requested by his attorney following the denial of his

motion to suppress at a hearing held November 3, 2011. The State has filed a response stating that

it does not oppose appellant’s motion to abate. We therefore abate the cause to the trial court for

entry of findings of fact and conclusions of law sufficient for this Court to use to review the trial

court’s application of the law to the facts. See State v. Cullen, 195 S.W.3d 696, 699 (Tex. Crim.

App. 2006). The trial court shall arrange for the filing of a supplemental clerk’s record containing

the court’s findings and conclusions no later than September 20, 2013. __________________________________________
