Code Ann. § 521.457 (West Supp. 2004-05). On the jury's recommendation, the trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed appellant on probation.
Appellant was represented at trial by Mr. Kirby J. Roberts, who appears to have been retained. Roberts filed a written notice of appeal on March 4, 2003, but notice was not sent to this Court.

The clerk's record was received by this Court on November 23, 2004. The reporter's record has not been received, and we are advised by the reporter that no request or payment has been made.
The county court shall conduct a hearing to determine whether appellant desires to prosecute this appeal and if so, the name of her counsel and whether counsel has abandoned the appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(a)(2). The court shall make appropriate findings and recommendations. The court shall also prepare and file a certification of the defendant's right of appeal. See Tex. R.
