If appellant is indigent, the judge shall appoint appellate counsel and direct the clerk to file a supplemental clerk’s record containing the order appointing counsel. If the court determines appellant is not entitled to appointed counsel, the court shall conduct a hearing to determine whether appellant desires to continue the appeal or has abandoned the appeal.
