THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 3 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F18-18887-J

ORDER Appellant filed his timely pro se notice of appeal on June 21, 2019.

We ORDER the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine whether appellant is

entitled to court-appointed counsel in this appeal. If the trial court finds that appellant is entitled

to court-appointed counsel, we ORDER the trial court to appoint an attorney to represent

appellant in the appeal. If the trial court finds that appellant is not entitled to court-appointed

counsel, the trial court shall determine whether appellant will retain counsel to represent him in

the appeal and, if so, the name, State Bar number, and contact information for retained counsel.

We ORDER the trial court to transmit a record of the hearing, including findings of fact,

any orders, and any supporting documentation, to this Court within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order. We further ORDER that the supplemental clerk’s record contain the trial court’s

completed certification of appellant’s right to appeal in this case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d).

We ABATE the appeal to allow the trial court to comply with the order. The appeal will

be reinstated thirty days from the date of this order or when the findings are received, whichever

is earlier.
