On Appeal from County Criminal Court at Law No. 1 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1819144

ORDER Appellant is represented by retained counsel, Mustafa Aziz . No reporter’s record has been filed in this case. Terri Johnstone, the court reporter, informed this court that appellant had not made arrangements for payment for the reporter’s record. On December 10, 2012, the clerk of this court notified appellant that we would consider and decide those issues that do not require a reporter’s record unless appellant, within 15 days of notice, provided this court with proof of payment for the record. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(c). Appellant filed no reply.

Accordingly, we issue the following order: We ORDER appellant=s retained counsel, Mustafa Aziz, to file a brief in this appeal on or before February 7, 2013. If Mustafa Aziz does not timely file the brief as ordered, we will abate this appeal for a hearing before the trial court to determine the reason for his failure to file a brief.
