JESUS FRANCISCO CAMPOS JUNIOR, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 178th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1608058

ABATEMENT ORDER

Appellant challenges the trial court’s order denying his motion to suppress. Although appellant requested findings of fact and conclusions of law, none have been filed. When the losing party on a motion to suppress requests findings of fact and conclusions of law, the trial court is required to make them. State v. Cullen, 195 S.W.3d 696, 698–99 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).

Accordingly, the trial court is directed to reduce to writing its findings of fact and conclusions of law on the denial of appellant’s motion to suppress and have a supplemental clerk’s record containing those findings filed with the clerk of this court on or before March 11, 2019. If the trial court’s findings were dictated into the record, the trial court is directed to include those findings in a supplemental clerk’s record to be filed with the clerk of this court on or before March 11, 2019.

The 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 when the trial court’s findings and recommendations are filed in this court. The court will also consider an appropriate motion to reinstate the appeal filed by either party.
