We GRANT appellant’s motion to extend and ORDER appellant’s brief filed sixty days from the date of this order. We DENY Graham’s motion to withdraw for noncompliance with the rules of appellate procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(a)(2),(3).
We ORDER the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine the status of appellant’s representation. The trial court shall make appropriate findings and recommendations. The trial court shall make the following determinations: First, the trial court shall determine whether appellant desires to pursue the appeals.
If the trial court determines that appellant does desire to pursue the appeals, the trial court shall next determine whether appellant is indigent and entitled to court-appointed counsel. If the trial court determines that appellant is indigent, we ORDER the trial court to appoint counsel to represent him.
If the trial court determines that appellant is not indigent, the trial court shall determine whether current counsel should be allowed to withdraw, whether appellant has retained new counsel, and whether appellant has made the necessary arrangements for filing a brief. If appellant desires to proceed with the appeals pro se, the trial court shall determine appellant’s address for correspondence.
We ORDER the trial court to transmit a record of the proceedings, which shall include written findings and recommendations and, if appropriate, an order appointing counsel, to this Court within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order.
These appeals are ABATED to allow the trial court to comply with the above order. The appeals shall be reinstated thirty days from the date of this order or when the findings are received, whichever is earlier.
