In the event Appellant elects to proceed pro se, the trial court shall make Appellant aware of the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation and develop evidence as to whether appellant’s apparent decision to relinquish benefits associated with counsel and to proceed pro se is knowingly and intelligently made under Hubbard v. State, 739 S.W.2d 341 (Tex.Crim.App. 1987) The trial court shall forward its findings to the District Clerk of Williamson County, Texas, on or before February 12, 2017.
