V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F20-12217-M, F20-22292-M & F20-22365-M
ORDER
Appellant filed a timely pro se notice of appeal in these appeals. We
ORDER the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine whether appellant is
indigent and entitled to court-appointed counsel in these appeals. 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 appeals. 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 appeals
and, if so, the name, State Bar number, and contact information for retained
counsel.
We ORDER the trial court to transmit any record of the hearing on counsel,
including findings of fact, any orders, and any supporting documentation, to this
Court within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order.
We ORDER District Clerk Felicia Pitre to file supplemental clerk’s records
containing the appointment of counsel within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this
order.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Ernest
White, Presiding Judge, 194th Judicial District Court; to Felicia Pitre, Dallas
County District Clerk; to Belinda Baraka, court reporter, 194th Judicial District
Court; to Christina O’Neil, Chief Judicial Staff Counsel; and to the Dallas County
District Attorney’s Office, Appellate Division.
We ABATE the appeals to allow the trial court an opportunity to comply
with this order. They will be reinstated when the supplemental clerk’s records are
filed, the Court is notified that appellate counsel has been appointed, or the Court
deems it appropriate to reinstate.
