NUMBER 13-16-00659-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellant,
v.
MIGUEL MARTINEZ, Appellee.
On appeal from the 332nd District Court
of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER ABATING APPEAL
Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Longoria
Order Per Curiam
Appellee’s counsel, David Higdon, filed a motion to withdraw as counsel which was
granted by the trial court. Because the record fails to indicate whether appellee is
entitled to appointed counsel on appeal, we ABATE and REMAND this cause as follows.
Upon remand, the trial court shall determine whether appellee is indigent and
entitled to court-appointed counsel. If the trial court determines that new counsel should
be appointed, the name, address, telephone number, email address, and state bar
number of the newly appointed counsel shall be included in the order appointing counsel.
The trial court shall further cause its order to be included in a supplemental clerk's record
to be filed with the Clerk of this Court on or before the expiration of twenty days from the
date of this order.
It is so ordered.
PER CURIAM
