THOMAS DUANE BLANCHARD,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 272nd District Court
Brazos County, Texas
Trial Court No. 12-02861-CRF-272
ABATEMENT ORDER
We have received a notice from counsel for appellant informing us that he has
filed a motion to withdraw in the trial court as counsel for appellant due to pro se
filings by appellant in this Court and conflicting instructions from appellant on how he
wishes to proceed in this appeal.
We note that the Anders brief referenced in counsel’s motion to withdraw as
appellate counsel has not yet been received in this Court.
Accordingly, we abate this appeal so that the trial court has full authority to
conduct any necessary hearings and make any necessary rulings, including but not
limited to whether appellant wishes to continue with his appeal, within 30 days of the
date of this Order.
The supplemental clerk’s and reporter’s records required by the rule, if any, are
ordered to be filed within 45 days of the date of this Order. See id.
