TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-12-00784-CR
Marcus Anthony Perkins, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 6 OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. C-1-CR-12-216472, HONORABLE BRANDY MUELLER, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant filed his notice of appeal on November 30, 2012, the clerk’s record was
filed on January 2, 2013, and the reporter’s record was filed on March 25, 2013. Appellant’s brief
was therefore due on April 24. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). On May 8, we sent notice to counsel
that the brief was overdue, requesting a response by May 20, but to date, counsel has not responded
to our notice or filed the brief.
The appeal is therefore abated. The trial court shall conduct a hearing to determine
whether appellant still wishes to pursue his appeal, whether appellant is indigent, and whether
counsel has abandoned the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b). The court shall make appropriate
findings and recommendations, and a supplemental record from this hearing, including copies of all
findings and orders and a transcription of the court reporter’s notes, shall be forwarded to the clerk
of this Court no later than September 30, 2013. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(3).
