NUMBER 13-15-00201-CV
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
IN THE MATTER OF J.R. JR., A JUVENILE
On appeal from the 197th District Court
of Cameron County, Texas.
ORDER OF ABATEMENT
Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Longoria
Order Per Curiam
Appellant, J.R. Jr., a juvenile, through his appointed counsel, filed a notice of
appeal regarding the trial court’s order transferring his case to adult court. See TEX. FAM.
CODE ANN. §§ 54.02, 56.01 (West, Westlaw through 2015 R.S.). The reporter’s record
has been filed in this case, however, the clerk’s record has not yet been filed because
appellant has not made arrangements for payment. Accordingly, we ABATE this appeal
and REMAND the cause to the trial court for further proceedings. Upon remand, the trial
court shall cause notice of a hearing to be given and, thereafter, conduct a hearing to
determine the following: (1) whether appellant is indigent; and (3) whether appellant is
entitled to a free appellate record due to his indigency.
The trial court shall cause its findings and recommendations, together with any
orders it may enter regarding the aforementioned issues, to be included in a supplemental
clerk's record and shall cause a supplemental reporter's record of any proceedings to be
prepared. The supplemental clerk's record and reporter's record, if any, shall be filed
with the Clerk of this Court on or before the expiration thirty days from the date of this
order.
It is so ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
3rd day of October, 2015.
